The festival has been designated "Best Party Fest" and "Best Beach Fest" by the "Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide". [5] It has also been criticized along the same lines for being "more intent on throwing parties than putting quality films on the screen." [6]

New Leadership/Native Direction

In 2012, leadership passed to husband and wife producers Dale Strack and Tonya Mantooth. [7] According to Strack, they were modeling it after Napa Valley Film Festival, with a "longer term goal" of rivaling Sundance or TriBeCa. [6]

The festival expanded to a second location in La Jolla the same year.

Another new change was the establishment of a "Native American Advisory Board", whose name was changed in 2017 to "American Indian Advisory Board". [8] Tribes represented on the AIA board include Sac and Fox, Luiseño, Kumeyaay, Seminole, Lipan/Mescalero Apache and the Barona Band of Mission Indians. Notable members of the board include character actor Saginaw Grant ( The Lone Ranger , Breaking Bad ), Randolph Mantooth ( Emergency! , Sons of Anarchy , brother of Tonya Mantooth) and Erica Pinto, the Chairwoman of Jamul Indian Village.

In 2013, New York area film critic Jeffrey Lyons was added as festival host and made honorary jury chairman. He acted as host or as co-host along with his with son Ben Lyons or with Access Hollywood film critic Scott Mantz, up until 2018, when Mantz hosted solo.

The festival added "International" to its name in 2016, having previously been known only as the San Diego Film Festival. [10]

In 2016, the festival established a Film Insider Series for VIP members to watch featured official selections and festival winners, premieres and special advanced screenings throughout the year. [11]

In September 2019, the festival began hosting free screenings of popular movies on Mission Beach. [12]

2020-present

Notable films premiering at the festival during this time include Nomadland, The French Dispatch, Spencer, The Power of the Dog, The Lost Daughter, The Banshees of Inisherin and The Inspection.

In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival was reduced to four days and presented 114 films both virtually and on drive-thru screens. [15] [16]

As of 2020, the San Diego International Film Festival is a qualifying festival for the Canadian Screen Awards. [17]

In 2021, limited in-person screenings resumed at new venues including the Museum of Photographic Arts and the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park, as well as the Catamaran Resort in Mission Bay. [18] A special screening was held on the deck on a historic aircraft carrier at the USS Midway Museum. [19]

In 2022, after organizers at the Women's Museum of California's had ended their Women's Film Festival due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they joined forces with the San Diego Festival to present a women's series of films. [20]

In 2023, the film festival's opening night is being held at Westfield UTC AMC on October 8. Where, for the festival's 22nd year, they will have a showing of the Oscar winning film, The Holdovers.
