"What Makes the Scrappy San Francisco Documentary Film Festival a Treasure to Sf Bay Area Filmgoers is Its Willingness to Take That Extra Step to Show Films a Little More Out There Than Bog Standard Documentaries." - Peter Wong, Broke *** Stuart

“Docfest Offers a Zippy Blend of Politics, Music, Social Issues and Youth-oriented Subcultures. The Good News is That Docfest Promotes Documentaries as a Vibrant, Irreverent Form of Entertainment to a Younger Demographic, Blasting the Notion of Educational Films to Smithereens. There’s No Room for Anything Approximating - Watch It, I’m About to Blaspheme - the Obsessively Measured and Utterly Somnambulant Musings of Ken Burns.” - Michael Fox, KQED
