San Francisco Film Society's Online Screening Room keeps San Francisco Film Festival alive all year long

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — MAY 25, 2016 — The San Francisco International Film Festival ended on May 5, but the longest-running film festival in the Western Hemisphere is keeping its festival live throughout the year with its Online Screening Room.

This is in addition to the 18 feature films, shorts and original video content from the 59th Festival currently available online and streaming on new mobile apps for iOS devices and AppleTV.

The Film Society’s Online Screening Room is an additional SFFS membership benefit, which begins at $70 annually. Members will be notified of new films and expiring content in the Film Society’s Picture Talk newsletter and on their website.
