From Sue Richardson, General Manager of The State Theatre:
"We are very proud to announce The State’s status as a hosting venue for the 3rd San Joaquin International Film Festival. Our collaboration with Sophoan Sorn has added a new dimension to our film programming. We certainly hope you can join us for one or all of the films. By so doing, you will support the festival and independent cinema at The State as well. As always, we look forward to seeing you soon."

From Sophoan Sorn, Founder of the San Joaquin Film Society:
"This is a dream come true. The State Theatre is the only year-round (and non-profit) arthouse cinema theatre in the '209.' Thanks to my dear friend, Sue Richardson, along with the support of the board of The State Theatre, we are able to expand our festival to new and enthusiastic filmgoers in Modesto and the southern San Joaquin Valley. This is the beginning of an on-going, fruitful, and adventurous collaboration. We are so honored to bring SJIFF3's Closing Night and Encore Day to the historic State Theatre. Hello, Modesto!"
