Lights Camera Action at the 2024 Coronado Island Film Festival

Get ready for five days of movie magic, star-studded events, and cinematic celebrations as the Coronado Island Film Festival rolls out the red carpet for its ninth season. This November, we’re in for a treat that’ll make film buffs and casual moviegoers alike swoon.

Star-Studded Premieres and Must-See Films

The festival is kicking things off with a bang, featuring Amazon MGM Studios’ UNSTOPPABLE. This powerhouse sports drama stars Jharrel Jerome alongside Jennifer Lopez, Don Cheadle, and Bobby Cannavale, telling an inspiring story of a one-legged wrestler chasing his pro dreams.

For those who love a good laugh mixed with heart, don’t miss the Centerpiece Feature “A Real Pain.” Fresh from a heated Sundance bidding war, this Searchlight Pictures gem brings together Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as mismatched cousins on a soul-searching journey through Poland.

Foodie Paradise on the Big Screen

This year’s Culinary Cinema Series is serving up a feast for the senses in partnership with the San Diego Food + Wine Festival.

We’re talking Michelin-starred chefs, world premieres, and yes – there will be tastings! The series includes “Fish & Men,” an eye-opening look at our seafood economy, and “Wild Hope: Mission Impossible,” featuring the mastermind behind the Impossible Burger.

Beyond Hollywood

From local talent showcases to powerful documentaries like NatGeo’s “Sugarcane,” the festival is bringing stories that matter to our shores. Keep an eye out for the world premiere of a documentary about our very own Pacific Beach-based band, Saint Luna—complete with a live performance afterward!

See you there!

The Coronado Island Film Festival takes over the island from November 6 to 10, 2024, with screenings and events happening at various venues including the newly restored Crown Room at Hotel del Coronado.

Ready to dive into the movie magic? Tickets start at $15 and go up to $395 for the full festival experience. Grab your all-inclusive Emerald Badge here. Want to explore the full lineup of films, panels, and special events? Head over here for all the details.
