Video Arts

Video Arts Room International Terminal

SFO Museum’s Video Arts program provides visibility to a range of contemporary artists and filmmakers who are at the leading edge of their craft. From short-form documentaries and narratives, to experimental films and all forms of animation, Video Arts brings you the thought-provoking, innovative work of today’s filmmakers.

This gallery is located pre-security on the departures level of International Terminal with daily operating hours of 8:00am to 10:00pm.

SFO Museum reviews exhibition proposals from artists and filmmakers on a rolling basis. Video Arts is currently programming four new films each month that are 20 minutes or less in duration. Due to our operation in a public space, Video Arts does not program work that features overt sexual or violent content. Those who are interested in participating may submit their work via our online form, here.

Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Join us in celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month at SFO—from a short narrative of a phone call between a traditional Chinese mother and her American born Chinese daughter, to an animation about the frustrations of people and urban environments. Other films include a feel-good, nostalgic music video of a Japanese schoolboy and his crush and a story of a young Indian American girl struggling to bury her pet bird in fear of it coming back to haunt her. SFO Museum’s Video Arts program is excited to share these deeply personal AAPI stories.
