Around this time last year, I covered my first film festival, SFFILM's Doc Stories. The screenings and other events all took place at The Vogue Theater, which is just a short walk from where I live. Long story short, I was hooked. Since then, I've covered SFFILM's International Film Festival, <a href="https://caamedia.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://caamedia.org/">CAAM</a>, and <a href="https://www.frameline.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener" data-cke-saved-href= "https://www.frameline.org/">Frameline</a> this year. And so I wasn't going to pass up a chance to speak again with Director of Programming at SFFILM Jessie Fairbanks. In this bonus episode, Jessie talks about this year's Doc Stories, the 10th such festival that SFFILM has put on to celebrate documentary filmmaking. Learn all about this year's programming, which includes many films and talks I'm hoping to attend.
