SFFILM’s annual San Francisco International Film Festival is always music to the ears (and eyes) of indie movie fans.

This year’s program is no exception and should especially appeal to classical music lovers as well as Boots Riley fans.

The fest runs April 24 through May 4 in Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco.

Three films that weave classical music into their storylines include:

The world premiere of “Figaro Up, Figaro Down”: A virtuoso portrait from the Bay Area’s Javid Soriano that’s about former opera rising star Tim Blevins as he battles addiction and seeks redemption on the streets of San Francisco. It’s a standout in this lineup. The film screens 6 p.m. April 27 at Marina Theatre, S.F., and 4:30 p.m. April 28 at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.
The sexy, old-fashioned melodrama “Two Pianos” from Arnaud Desplechin stars hunky François Civil as a tormented diva of a pianist who runs smack into the sins of his past when he agrees to perform with his fading mentor (Charlotte Rampling) for a special concert. It screens 8:30 p.m. April 26 at the Marina Theatre.
Oscar winning documentary director Daniel Roher (“Navalny” and “The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist”) shifts to a crowd-pleasing crime thriller with “Tuner.” It stars Leo Woodall as a piano tuner who uses his acute talents for a more lucrative and criminal activity. Dustin Hoffman co-stars. It screens 1 p.m. April 26, at Premier Theater at One Letterman Plaza, S.F.

A couple of other films not to miss:

Boots Riley’s absurdist comedy set once again in Oakland, “I Love Boosters,” features a great cast led by Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, LaKeith Stanfield and Demi Moore. It earned raves at South by Southwest Film Fest. It’s the fest’s Centerpiece selection and screens at 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. April 28 at Oakland’s Grand Lake Theater.

Olivia Wilde’s Edward Albee-like, razor sharp comedy about a shocking proposal made at a San Francisco dinner party, “The Invite,” is the first of two opening-night selections — the other being Kent Jones’ “Late Fame” with Greta Lee and Willem Dafoe.

“Late Fame” screens 5:30 p.m. April 24 at the Castro Theatre in S.F., while “The Invite” screens at 8:30 p.m. April 24 at the Castro.
