The San Francisco Film Society's Cinema by the Bay festival celebrates the passion, innovation and diversity of Bay Area filmmaking, the intelligence and probing spirit of local directors and the incredible depth and breadth of America’s film and media frontier. The four-day festival will feature new work produced in or about the San Francisco Bay Area and provide a compelling window into Bay Area film culture and practice at its best. The 2011 edition of Cinema by the Bay opens with Joshua Moore’s heartfelt debut feature I Think It's Raining, includes screenings of dynamic new films by leading  filmmakers and is capped with the Film Society’s annual celebration of Bay Area innovators, Essential SF.
