At an illuminating panel during the SF Docfest earlier this month titled ‘Film Festivals – What Are They Good For?’, film critic Michael Fox spoke with programmers Rod Armstrong (SFFFILM), Dominique O’Neil (San Francisco Jewish Film Festival), Sterling Hedgpeth (Mill Valley Film Festival), and Isabel Fondevilla (Roxie Theater) about this very question.
