The festival, which began on April 14 and will run until April 19, aims to showcase television and documentary series’ from around the world.
Sarah recently discussed ageing as she covered NewBeauty magazine’s March edition.
‘It can be hard when you’ve been in the public eye for a long time, but I think that I’m the worst at comparing myself to what I used to look like. I’m harder on myself than the public is,’ she explained.
In the interview with the magazine, the actress — who has kids Charlotte, 13, and Rocky, 10 with husband Freddie Prinze Jr — said she likes to care of her mental health.
Sarah admitted that she realised she wasn’t taking proper care of herself in the pandemic.
‘I keep telling my husband that I feel like I’ve aged so much in those three years of having the kids home and homeschooling and all that!’ she noted.
On her husband’s response, she said: ‘He keeps saying, “You didn’t age anymore in those three years than any other three years,” but it sure feels like I did!’

It comes following the news that a streaming series based on iconic 1999 teen film Cruel Intentions is in the works at Amazon.
The movie, which starred Sarah, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe as ruthless Manhattan prep school students has become a cult classic since its release almost 25 years ago.
According to TVLine, the project is scheduled to go into production later this month, with physical production set to occur in Toronto.
Insiders stated that the show was in development for Amazon’s Freevee service, although it could potentially be moved to Prime Video.
Representatives for both streaming services declined to comment.
Cruel Intentions is based on the 1782 novel Les Liaisons dangereuses, which was written by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.
The movie is centered on a pair of step-siblings who make a bet regarding one’s ability to seduce one of their classmates.
In addition to its three leads, the film also starred performers such as Selma Blair and Joshua Jackson.
The movie received mixed reviews from critics at the time of its original release, although it was a hit at the box office.
A pair of direct-to-video sequels, neither of which featured members of the first film’s cast, were released in 2001 and 2004.
A jukebox musical based on the movie made its debut in 2015 and has been reproduced on several occasions since then.
A television pilot that starred Gellar and served as a sequel to the film was produced in 2016, although the project was ultimately not picked up by any networks.

The actress previously spoke to The New York Times and expressed that she was glad that the pilot was not taken to series.
She recalled: ‘On the first day, I was like, “This isn’t working.” It’s just not a network show. And if it is a network show, it’s not my Cruel Intentions. So, I was actually grateful.’
News about the development on the new version of the program was revealed to the public in 2021.
The Cruel Intentions streaming series currently does not have a set release date as of yet.
