San Diego Film Week

San Diego Film Week is an annual film festival in San Diego, California. It was founded in 2017 by Jodi Cilley and hosted by Film Consortium San Diego.
History
The inaugural festival began at Lafayette Hotel on February 10, 2017 and wrapped up February 19th. The festival partnered with seven other festivals which included San Diego International Film Festival, San Diego Asian Film Festival and GI Film Festival San Diego. Miguel Rodriguez of Horrible Imaginings Film Festival held a panel during the event with a plan to focus attention on local filmmaking and film festivals. During its second year, the opening night gala was held at Sunset Temple in North Park and the San Diego Film Awards ceremony at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay on Shelter Island. At the third annual festival, Cilley talked about the extended goals for local filmmakers. The San Diego International Film Festival screened the "Best of Selections" in 2020.
