Fall 2011: Federico Veiroj
 Uruguayan filmmaker Federico Veiroj Fall 2011 Artist in Residence The Film Society’s Artist in Residence program brings an international filmmaker to San Francisco for a two-week residency, which features programming in each of the Film Society’s core areas—education, exhibition and filmmaker services—including a public screening, master class, visits to Bay Area high school and college classrooms and opportunities to connect with local filmmakers. Visiting artists are selected based on their filmmaking experience, compelling body of work and desire to share their knowledge with emerging filmmakers and film students. Uruguayan filmmaker Federico Veiroj was in San Francisco for the Film Society’s second artist-in-residence program, November 10–23, 2011. RELATED ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE EVENTS | Who is Federico Veiroj?
