"If you've forgotten that big imaginations are more important to the creative filmmaking process than, say, Miramax's big fat wallets, you might want to take note of the Hi/Lo Film Festival."

"Films that you won't find at the multiplex."
-- www.sfstation.com

"Animation, claymation, documentary and 'uncategorizable' creations grace the screen in a communal effort to spit in the face of the increasing standardization of the movie business."
-- San Francisco Metropolitan

"All in all a solid program, meeting and exceeding my expectations."
-- Cashiers du Cinemart

"Hûen a filmek kötségvetéséhez a jegyeket a festiválra csak 7 dollárért mérik, ami alatta van a szokásos belépõk árainak."
