CIFF is thrilled to present this year’s Culinary Cinema Series in partnership with the San Diego Bay Food & Wine Festival, which has been honored as USA Today’s top Food + Wine Fest since 2022. This curated series blends film and flavor, featuring thought-provoking titles like Fish & Men, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and the U.S. premiere of Marcella. Plus, don’t miss the festival-exclusive Wild Hope: Mission Impossible, a special collaboration with Tangled Bank Studios. This series explores our evolving relationship with food—touching on global impact, sustainability, farming, and fine dining—while bringing together the talents of filmmakers, chefs, and winemakers with exquisite tastings to savor.
The Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF) welcomes makers and lovers of film from all over the world to the storied seaside village of Coronado, California to celebrate the magical art of visual storytelling. Coronado’s enduring love affair with Hollywood began more than a century ago.
