Film Society Awards Night is one of the city’s most highly anticipated cultural events. Benefitting the San Francisco Film Society’s Exhibition, Education and Filmmaker Services programs, this lively and memorable evening honors the directing, acting, storytelling and craft of cinema award recipients with peer tributes and career highlights.

This year’s award recipients include Guillermo del Toro, who will receive the San Francisco International Film Festival’s Irving M. Levin Directing Award, and Richard Gere, who will be honored with the Festival’s Peter J. Owens Award.
