The
Film Society is a nonprofit arts organization devoted to promoting
the appreciation of international film. Each year we present the
San Francisco International Film Festival. We also bring restored
masterpieces and major retrospectives to Bay Area audiences throughout
the year. Even though the name "San Francisco Film Society"
was not coined until the late 1970s, we trace our ancestry to the
early days of the Film Festival, when such organizations as the
"Friends of the Festival" were formed for the same purpose.
You can support and participate in our activities by becoming a
member.
Founded
in 1957, the Festival has become a showcase for nearly 200 new features,
documentaries and shorts. The Festival is dedicated to highlighting
current trends in international film and video production. In addition,
over 1,500 submissions from all over the world of documentary and
animated films, shorts and works created on video or for television
are judged in the Golden Gate Awards competition.
On the contrary, the San Francisco International Film Festival is
one of the most public-accessible (and, we hope, user-friendly)
events in the city of San Francisco and one of the most open-to-everybody
events on the entire film festival circuit.
