[1][2][3] The San Diego Film Critics Society (SDFCS) is composed of print, television, radio and digital film critics working in San Diego County.

According to the SDFCS, the mission of the society is to provide diverse critical opinion about movies, advance film education and awareness, and recognize excellence in cinema.

The society also supports Film School Confidential, an annual festival held at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park, presenting short films directed and produced by local student filmmakers.

This includes recognition of best film, actor, actress, director, cinematographer and numerous other categories.

The voting results are published in film-related media worldwide, culminating in an annual awards banquet.
