About the San Joaquin Film Festival

MAKING HISTORY

Regarded among the California Travel & Tourism Commission's new and exciting events of Spring 2008, The San Joaquin Film Festival, a project of SJCCM, will open in the multicultural city of Stockton, California, U.S.A. from June 4 to June 8, 2008 as the region's first, global film festival.

HOLLYWOOD NORTH

Retrospectively, the Stockton-San Joaquin County region was a major filming destination and known in the 1960s as “Hollywood North.” It is time for a revival. This momentous festival hopes to bring together people from all diverse backgrounds, to celebrate the art of cinema, to empower independent film and video artists, to honor local heritage and history, to promote the art of the film, and to forge international relations through media.

DESTINATION: STOCKTON

Stockton, the 12th largest city in California, is in the heart of the Central Valley - the "bread basket" of the world. A multicultural phenomenon, it is represented by over 75 ethnic and language groups. Centralized at 50 miles south of the state capital, 90 miles northeast of San Francisco, and 100 miles east of Yosemite National Park - Stockton is the prime location as Northern California's cross-cultural center.
