Sundial Film Festival

Every film has a story behind it 🎬

In this interview, filmmaker Kyle Re shares the inspiration behind his short film Space, which screened at the 2026 Sundial Film Festival.

Hearing directly from filmmakers is one of the most meaningful parts of the festival experience. It gives audiences a deeper look at the ideas, challenges, and creative choices that bring each story to life.

As we look ahead to next year, we’re excited to discover the next round of filmmakers, bold ideas, and unforgettable stories.

Stories made here matter 🎬

One of the films featured at the 2026 Sundial Film Festival, ROBODEATH, a music video (""Anthem” by The Color Study), was filmed right here in the North State.

We love seeing filmmakers use the landscapes, communities, and character of our region to help bring their stories to life.

Every project filmed here helps showcase the creative potential of Northern California and reminds us that meaningful, memorable films can be made close to home.

Have you ever recognized a familiar North State location in a film?

The future of filmmaking is bright 🎬

One of the most memorable moments from this year’s Sundial Film Festival was watching young filmmakers share their work on the big screen.

This student-led project brought together collaborators from France and featured voice work from legendary actors, showing just how far bold ideas can go when young creatives are given the space to create.

We love seeing the next generation of storytellers take risks, collaborate across borders, and bring their ideas to life through film.

Here’s to dreaming big, creating fearlessly, and making movies.

Still not over this view 🎬✨

There is something special about the moment the lights go down, the audience settles in, and the screen comes to life.

For a few hours, anything feels possible.

This is why we love bringing people together through film.
