The San Luis Obispo International Film Festival is gearing up for its 2025 edition, scheduled April 24-29. Organizers say that popular traditions like Surf Nite, Skate Night, and the King Vidor Tribute will be back, along with the usual outstanding line of short and feature-length films from around the world.

You can become a part of the festival now, by volunteering, purchasing a festival pass, becoming a sponsor, or casting your vote to help name the festival as one of USA TODAY’s 10 Best Film Festivals. Voting is open to all until Monday, March 3, and all voters are able to cast one vote each day.

A Great Deal

The festival is running a special promotion with Visit SLO. Book a two-night stay at any hotel in the City of SLO during the week of the festival and receive two exclusive See + Stay Passes (valued at $285 each), each granting access to select special events and the festival lounge, plus four screening tickets.
