Your support of our film festival does much more than provide you benefits and discounts to our programs. 

Every ticket purchase supports our ongoing efforts to build a stronger community both locally and virtually. Major cuts to arts funding and increased xenophobia amidst the changing landscape from COVID-19 continue to present significant challenges to the future of Pac Arts.  Pac Arts’ work is more important than ever. We ALL need the power of film to uplift our stories and build a more compassionate society.
