Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival thrives because of the support of donors and volunteers. We would love your help.

It all began with a group of people that volunteered their time to create the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival. Now, eighteen years later, SDFF is an Oscar® qualifying film fest known for its desire to support progressive and innovative films and the filmmakers that create them. We strive to make SDFF the best festival experience in Northern California. But to do this we need your help.
