The Film Society educates, entertains and enriches diverse audiences and communities with programs and events in four core areas: embracing internationalism; educating Bay Area youth; celebrating Bay Area film and media; and exploring new media and digital technology.
Through its annual San Francisco International Film Festival and an assortment of equally anticipated events such as the yearly San Francisco International Animation Festival, New Italian Cinema and French Cinema Now, bimonthly SF360 Film+Club multimedia presentations and Film Arts Forum filmmaker gatherings, and frequent benefit screenings and film premieres, the Film Society shares the best in global moving-image arts with tens of thousands of viewers who are eager to explore images and ideas beyond the mainstream multiplex.

A full slate of Filmmaker Services programs, including professional development classes, grants, residencies, fiscal sponsorship, publications and networking events, keeps the Film Society in close contact with local filmmaking talent and further establishes the organization as an international model for community engagement through the limitless thrills and potentials of cinema as an art form and a means of social change.
