Filmmakers are talking!

Visiting filmmakers have a lot to say about their experiences at the SouthSide Film Festival....

“Thank you so much for everything. The hospitality of the community and the generosity of the volunteers made for an incredible week. The thought that was put into the programming of the films and the fact we were given the opportunity to have an audience Q & A showed that SSFF really cares about our projects. Thanks again!”
