SCIFF has redefined film festivals — from red carpets to school auditoriums.

​

In a world where most students never step into a film festival, we took the festival to them. Every school became a screening venue. We didn’t just bring films to students — we brought students into the world of cinema. Along the way, we also gave filmmakers something extraordinary: a global audience of millions of young viewers every year.

​

By embedding cinema into learning, SCIFF has sparked imagination, empathy, and critical thinking — nurturing a generation of thoughtful viewers and emerging storytellers.
