The first-ever San Quentin Film Festival is set to take place on October 10, 2024, within the walls of the maximum security correctional facility near San Francisco. This groundbreaking one-day event aims to foster collaboration between incarcerated individuals and the entertainment industry, providing a platform for their voices to be heard.
One of the highlights of the festival will be a screening of A24's 'Sing Sing,' featuring Colman Domingo and a cast of formerly incarcerated actors. The lineup includes new feature films depicting the prison experience, as well as short films created by incarcerated filmmakers themselves.
