About us
The California Film Institute (CAFILM) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating and promoting film, as art and education, with a diverse series of annual programs, including the presentation of the internationally acclaimed Mill Valley Film Festival, celebrating its 43rd year in 2020 and the documentary film festival DocLands; building the next generation of young filmmakers and audiences through CAFILM Education, featuring a broad range of activities, screenings, Q&A sessions, and seminars with top international and local filmmakers and industry professionals, as well as a rich program of classes and hands-on-workshops for all Bay Area students and lifetime learners. Year-round, CAFILM acts as a film-centric town hall with a varied calendar of programming at the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center, one of the leading non-profit independent theaters in the U.S. Celebrating and promoting the art of storytelling through film enables CAFILM to engage an average of 275,000 guests throughout the year with films and events that entertain as well as address a breadth of social, environmental, and cultural issues. CAFILM is also the majority owner of the Sequoia Theater in Mill Valley, California. Additionally, through CAFILM Releasing, a national non-profit film distribution initiative, CAFILM enables filmmakers and sales agents to collaborate with U.S. independent exhibitors, giving nationwide audiences access to quality independent film and promoting this work as a valuable artistic and educational medium conveying different visions, viewpoints, and cultural perspectives. CAFILM relies on the generosity of its community to sustain these core programs. The invaluable support of our members, sponsors, foundations, corporate partners, and individual donors ensures our continued success.

California Film Institute reposted this
For the second year, I'm thrilled to bring a special series for the CALIFORNIA FILM INSTITUTE during Pride Month. CAFILM PRIDE takes place at THE RAFAEL THEATER from June 7th to 9th. I curated films that continue to have a significant cultural and emotional impact and resonate with the audience's diverse experiences and interests (COMMON THREADS: STORIES FROM THE QUILT; PRIDE; TOMBOY), spotlighting a filmmaker to be watched (CAROLINA MARKOWICZ/TOLL), and including a Bay Area QUEER WOMEN'S STORIES short program in partnership with FRAMELINE. Also, in partnership with the NATIONAL AIDS MEMORIAL GROVE, we are displaying a Quilt panel from 1987, first displayed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., during the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. Thank you to all who helped make this happen. I hope you enjoy it!! California Film Institute Frameline #CAFILMPRIDE #FILMSERIES
