While much of the talk was about this year's big debuts, there was also buzz surrounding the San Francisco Film Commission's newly expressed interest in perhaps luring the Sundance Film Festival to the City.

Fans of world cinema lined up this weekend for the 67th annual San Francisco International Film Festival. While much of the talk was about this year's big debuts, there was also buzz surrounding the San Francisco Film Commission's newly expressed interest in perhaps luring the Sundance Film Festival to the City.

"I guess I feel a little protective of the festival we have here, so as long as they can co-exist peacefully," said John Knight, who was attending a screening at the San Francisco International Film Festival at the Marina Theater.Among the films being showcased Saturday night at the theater was Ru, the story of a 10-year-old and his family fleeing Vietnam after the 1975 Fall of Saigon.
