Our 17th Another Hole in the Head Film Festival will run November 29th through December 13th 2020, at New People Cinema in San Francisco.
With this festival, we seek broader horizons than our original genre designation allowed. All styles of independent film are welcome to compete. Whether it's a major production from a professional company, a student film, or a micro-budget labor of love, we are committed to giving each film due consideration.
We are located in a very receptive town for film, and we've built a passionate following over the years. 2020 will mark our 17th year among the most highly rated festivals in the world, and we're still growing!
San Francisco is the second largest film market in the country and a great promotional platform for indie filmmakers who are trying to get their film out into the world. Many films that screen at our festival spark the attention of other film festivals and film brokers/buyers. In addition, the films and the festival are reviewed by some of the top players in the industry, such as Variety, The San Francisco Chronicle, Dread Central, Bloody Disgusting, Twitch, and Way Too Indie, just to name a few.
Our "theatrical home" is New People Cinema in San Francisco's Japantown. A 143-seat underground venue located in the New People Building, the Cinema is equipped with cutting-edge HD digital projection, 35mm film projection and a THX®-certified sound system. New People Cinema hosts many local film festivals including the San Francisco International Film Festival, CAAMFest, Green Film Festival, and the Japan Film Festival of San Francisco.

1. ABOUT THE FEMINIST CINEMA SHOW
The 6th Feminist Cinema Exhibition is organized by Coletiva Malva and will take place in the city of Belo Horizonte - MG - Brazil between the 18th and 26th of July 2020. The curatorship excels in diversity, importance of themes and representativeness. The show will show films directed or co-directed by women.
The Malva Collective believes that cinema translates as a mechanism for the production of meanings and social representation, with emphasis on the way it portrays / reinforces / sustains or questions the differences between gender, sexual and ethnic-racial relations. The audiovisual sector as a whole reflects and (re) produces phallocentric and misogynistic paradigms in different aspects: in the way historically women are portrayed within the cinematographic narrative and in the exclusion and non-acceptance of the occupation of women in positions and in the construction of thought Brazilian audiovisual. Thus, this Exhibition seeks to create spaces for the diffusion, integration and preservation of audiovisual production made by women at national and international levels.
It is from the incessant and ambitious production of the feminine gaze when returning her aesthetics, her dimension, her body, her feminist becoming to the community through audiovisual materials that we have developed, since 2015, the Feminist Cinema Exhibition. We are jointly in the struggle for visibility and strengthening of black, indigenous, urban and rural cultures, LGBTIQA +, and we assume that a woman is every human being who identifies herself as a woman
One of the longest running film festivals of its kind worldwide. It is a short film festival open to non-professional productions, film school students as well as commercial productions. It is held annually during the last week of November.
