The Borrego Springs Film Festival proudly announces its new, independent status as The Borrego Springs Film Institute, a 501c(3) public non-profit organization. This landmark decision marks a significant milestone in the festival's history, solidifying its commitment to fostering the growth and appreciation of the arts, culture, and education within the community and beyond.

For the last nine years, the BSFF Committee of volunteers has presented one of the most fiercely independent film festivals in the country, producing live screening events even during the recent years of the pandemic!  “To say we’re thrilled to be announcing our tenth annual festival, is an understatement,” said Fred Jee, chairman of the BSFF Committee.  “We’re excited to be marking our first decade with an amazing slate of films submissions, as well as an increase in our community presence during the year!” 

The Tenth BSFF is featuring an exciting line-up of Community and Filmmaker Panels, all of which are free and open to the public.
