While San Franciscans certainly don't lack for choices when it comes to film festivals, true cinephiles know that the San Francisco International Film Festival is the city's real heavy hitter. The SFIFF is the oldest continuously running film festival in the Americas, showcasing narratives, documentaries, shorts, and experimental films from all corners. Opening night kicks off with The Last Mistress, a provocative French period drama starring Asia Argento as the sultry Spanish mistress of a French aristocrat whose pending marriage may mean the end of their passionate liaison. The festival closes with Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, a riveting documentary about the iconoclastic journalist.
