San Francisco Film Society
Visionary from the beginning, the San Francisco Film Society today presents an energetic medley of year-round offerings that embrace the artistry and innovation of the world's most imaginative storytellers. SFFS educates, entertains and enriches a wide and diverse range of audiences with programs and events in four core areas: Internationalism, Education, Citywide Outreach and Exploring New Media. The celebration of the transformative power of the moving image is at the very heart of everything the Film Society does.
A fun and meaningful forum for education, understanding and awareness, the San Francisco Film Society’s Education Program introduces students to the art of filmmaking and celebrates both the differences and the shared values of the many cultural groups that make up our global community. The program aims to develop media literacy, broaden insights into other cultures, enhance foreign language aptitude, develop critical thinking skills and inspire a lifelong appreciation of cinema.
We are constantly establishing new partnerships with schools, cultural centers, sponsors, museums, innovators in the film industry and other nonprofit and arts organizations to support us in our educational objectives. We strive to cultivate students’ imaginations, facilitate their awareness as filmgoers and empower them as true global citizens.
