Palm Springs International Film Society Mission 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.

The Palm Springs International Film Society is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization. Help support the Palm Springs International Film Festival 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 screenings of contemporary international films, many with special guests attending for post-screening Q&A's. Among our offerings:

Invitations to Special Member Screenings and select Special Events are a year round specialty of the Palm Springs International Film Society, with a minimum of 8 free screenings a year extended at the Associate level, additional invitations guaranteed at higher membership levels. Among member screenings this past year have been No Country for Old Men, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, There Will Be Blood, Brideshead Revisited and American Teen.

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!
