America’s Finest Film Fest will showcase 20 of the best short films from San Diego next month in the acoustically acclaimed Irwin Jacobs Hall on the Qualcomm campus.
The films, all made in San Diego, will highlight the beauty and diversity of America’s Finest City and underscore a message about the importance of sustainability from The 1 to 1 Movement. It will be the third year for the popular event, and organizers expect 1,200 people.
The 1 to 1 Movement is a San Diego nonprofit dedicated to promoting economic and environmental sustainability. Proceeds from the film fest will be used to support in-class and community-based education programs focused on food systems, water conservation, waste diversion, alternative transportation and energy.
Screenings are scheduled for 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 8, with a reception party scheduled between the screenings at 6:30 p.m.
The reception will include a “maker’s market” with 50 San Diego vendors displaying their locally made goods as well as local food, beer and wine.
Co-sponsors include Qualcomm, Co-Merge Workplace, SnowGlobe Studios and Karl Strauss Brewing Co. Tickets are available online at $15 per person.
