Welcome to SDAFF’s 10th Spring Showcase!
As this year’s showcase will be an entirely digital experience, we have put together this guide to help you navigate the virtual festival as well as address questions you might have about tickets and streaming.
Tickets
Tickets for films will be available on our website at sdaff.org. Most films will be accessible to all residents with billing zip codes inside the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. A select number of films will be restricted to California residents. All films will be available the entire Spring Showcase (12:00am April 23, 2020 through 11:59 p.m. May 2, 2020 PST).
This year, Spring Showcase is offering specially priced ticket bundles for our Special Presentations and our 10 episode series. Check out what’s available here.
Film Screening Windows
Films will be available during the entire Spring Showcase (12:00am April 23, 2020 through 11:59 p.m. May 2, 2020 PT).

No extensions will be allowed for unwatched or unfinished films.
Q&As
The SDAFF Spring Showcase includes a variety of live and pre-recorded filmmaker Q&As. All Live Q&As are free and will be available to view via multiple platforms, including the official Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube accounts for Pacific Arts Movement. Pre-recorded Q&A’s for select films will be included with the purchase of a screening ticket and will immediately follow the feature film.
