Sausalito Film Festival at Cavallo Point

Looking for something to do this weekend?  Film is the ticket this weekend in Marin County as the Sausalito Film Festival rolls in to town.  The event takes place this weekend at Cavallo Point at Fort Baker in Sausalito.

If you haven’t been to Cavallo Point, the setting alone is well worth the visit.  It has some of the most breathtaking views in all of Marin.  Cavallo Point sits at the southern tip of Marin County at Fort Baker.  It overlooks the San Francisco skyline and a gaze up reveals the Golden Gate Bridge.

The film festival takes place today and tomorrow. I love the description of the film festival from their website:

In the heart of an artist’s community, with the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco across the water, lies the ideal backdrop for a premiere film festival experience.People around the world are drawn to Sausalito, certainly for its picturesque beauty, but possibly because it is so uniquely different from anywhere else. Creatives, nonconformists, the famous (and infamous) have felt its gravitational pull. Artists, writers, philosophers, rock legends and film stars have made it their home, in the company of boat-builders, bootleggers and ex-madams.

Films that speak to our naturally rebellious nature, our creative soul, our passion for cultural understanding. Films of all lengths and genres are presented – features, shorts, animation, and documentaries from around the globe. Coupled with conversations and presentations that will stimulate, and provoke the senses. Because this is no mere picture show.

The event features 13 exclusive bay area premiers and a total of thirty films, both full length and short film.  The centerpiece film is the award winning documentary, Climate Refugees which explains the growing reality of displaced populations due to environmental disasters. Be aware, some of the shows are already sold out.
