About SaratogaSIFF:
The goal is to bring together collaborators from all stages in their careers to exchange ideas, grow as storytellers and connect with a diverse audience. SaratogaSIFF bridges the gap created by institutional education, by showcasing films on a local, national, and international scale, as well as providing resources for entrepreneurs and artists on how to make a living through pursuing their dreams. We intend to bring independent film to an audience who may not otherwise get the chance to see such projects in a cinema setting. All Filmmakers were film lovers first.
