Welcome to the Sac Film Awards!
The Sacramento Film Awards (AKA The Charlies) is the ultimate recognition of regional and international filmmaking excellence in Northern California. Since 2005, the Sacramento Film Awards has honored cinema artists for their craft in a fun and exciting environment.
On August 18th 2024, the California Film Foundation (CFF) presented the Sacramento Film Awards for our annual SUMMER SESSION. The event was held at the beautiful California Railroad Museum in fantastic Old Sacramento.
CONGRATULATIONS! Congrats to ALL the films selected for this 29th year! With literally hundreds of submissions, it is rare to be selected! We therefore salute ALL our filmmakers. While not every film wins a Charlie, SFF/CFF honors ALL our selected filmmakers and contributors! As an "OFFICIAL SELECTION" you are ALL winners!
This year's Awards show honored outstanding work in 27 categories, including three special award recipients, Oppenheimer's Will Roberts, the Sac Observer's Genoa Barrow, and Producer, Roxanne Avent. These prestigious awards were given to films from our screening premieres held August 16-18th, 2024. For more videos and pics of the event go to https://californiafilm.net/photo
