A new film festival will take over four screens at the Regal San Bernardino multiplex on Saturday, April 20, for a full day of short films.
The Inland Film Festival is organized by the Garcia Center for the Arts with several collaborators, including Future/First, an Inland production company with the goal to serve filmmakers in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
The festival will start at 11 a.m. and wrap up with an awards ceremony on the lawn in front of the venue around 8 p.m.
There will be 26 screenings and panels throughout the day divided by genre. They include dramas, comedy, documentary, sci-fi, horror, family-friendly and music video.
In total, the festival will present more than 100 films.
Each program contains two to seven films and runs an hour to 90 minutes. All-day badges cost $20 per person and allow entry to any of the screenings.
“That’s the amazing part, how much content we have committed, and all local to the IE,” said Eric Servin, program director for the Garcia Center.

In an , Olivarez describes the Inland Film Festival as a big deal.
“There’s so many talented filmmakers who want to show their work.”
During the festival there will be an art walk near the venue featuring vendors and local galleries that will give filmgoers a chance to stretch their legs, Servin said.
The theater is at 450 N E St., San Bernardino.
