The most anticipated installment of San Diego Filipino Cinema’s year-long programming, the San Diego Filipino Film Festival (SDFFF) is back on its third year this fall from October 3-8, 2023. Held during Filipino American History Month in October, SDFFF is SDFC's centerpiece event that aims to raise awareness for Filipino cinema as an important art form and a powerful tool for representation, education, and entertainment. SDFFF will bring San Diego communities together to celebrate diversity, culture, and heritage through cinema with a diverse mix of narrative features, documentaries, and short films. Nurse Unseen explores the little-known history and humanity of the unsung Filipino nurses risking their lives on the frontlines while facing a resurgence of anti-Asian hate in the streets. The film unearths the colonial ties between the Philippines and the United States that has led to Filipino nurses becoming the unknown backbone of the U.S. and global healthcare systems.

The filmmakers of "Abigail," Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, talk about their ballerina vampire movie.

Gadan is a new project created by four experienced and well-known musicians in the Irish trad and European folk/rock scene. Their high-energy repertoire has a powerful live appeal and a sound comparable to new-trad acts such as Talisk, East Pointers, and WeBanjo3, but with a unique identity thanks to years of experience in several folk scenes, from Appalachian and old time to Scottish and Italian folk and traditional music. Their lineup consists of two banjos (tenor and clawhammer), fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki, and guitar, creating an “strings-only” sound with a hint of electronics, driven by a powerful rhythmic pulse. The members of the band include Joan Gatti on fiddle, Lorenzo Testa on tenor banjo and vocals, Jacopo Ventura on guitar and vocals, and Andrea Verga on 5-string banjo, mandolin, and vocals. The band ended its first United States tour in October 2022, playing in festivals and folk venues all along the East Coast. They are now back to cover the West. Gadan’s power leaves no one unmoved. You don’t need drums to groove. Stay Connected on Facebook
