“We are so proud to honor this group of individuals as we close out 2024,” says SFFILM Director of Programming Jessie Fairbanks. “Their crafts and artistry elevates the cinematic experience and reminds us why we collectively love the power of film. Denis, Demi, Malcolm and Jason are all intrepid, tenacious and imaginative creatives. We look forward to honoring their work at SFFILM’s annual fundraiser.”
