WHAT IS THE CINEMA SOCIETY

Founded in 1998 and presented by the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF), the Santa Barbara Cinema Society gives the community the opportunity to celebrate the art of cinema throughout the year. Presenting an expansive schedule of screenings and special events, this program will foster an appreciation of independent and studio films, motion picture history, and the marvelous diversity of world cinema. Many of the filmmakers and celebrity guests will be present to introduce films and participate in post-screening discussions. Please join us as SBIFF brings the community together for an exciting collection of cinematic experiences.
