The annual San Francisco International Film Festival (SFFILM) is set to run from April 24 to May 4 in Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco. The program includes three films that weave classical music into their storylines, including "Figaro Up, Figaro Down" and "Two Pianos". Oscar-winning documentary director Daniel Roher's "Tuner" is a crowd-pleasing crime thriller starring Leo Woodall. Boots Riley's comedy "I Love Boosters" is also a must-see. Other notable films include "The Invite," an Edward Albee-like comedy about a shocking proposal at a San Francisco dinner party.
