Palm Springs International Film Society Vision Statement

Palm Springs International Film Society strives for a world in which enlightenment, knowledge and tolerance prevail. We believe film as an art form has the power to bridge cultures and illuminates the universality of the human experience.

Mission Statement

The Palm Springs International Film Society is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization whose mission is to cultivate and promote the art and science of film through education and cross-cultural awareness.

Help support the Palm Springs International Film Society's education and outreach efforts by making a tax-deductible donation to our Programs Fund Drive.

With a year-round program of screenings and special events, the PSIFS hosts two major annual festivals and presents monthly Special Member Screenings of contemporary international films, many with special guests attending for post-screening Q&A's. A minimum of 8 free screenings a year are extended at the Associate level, with additional invitations guaranteed at higher membership levels. Among past member screenings have been The Hurt Locker, Precious, Up in the Air and Nine.

Members receive Festival benefits at both festivals commensurate with their membership level. And because of the Film Society's charitable status, part of your membership fees is tax deductible! Click here for more information!
