SFFP's mission is to restore, preserve, and provide access to the world’s cinematic heritage, ensuring that films—of all genres and eras—remain accessible for future generations.
Through education, advocacy, and collaboration, we aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art of film while safeguarding its cultural significance for years to come.
Time waitsfor no film.
In addition to restoring and preserving films, San Francisco Film Preserve provides access to restored works online, on physical media and via streaming services, manages a thriving domestic and international loan program, conducts presentations on the importance and relevance of film preservation, publishes work surrounding topics in the ever-developing sphere of moving image restoration, and tirelessly advocates for at-risk films and for the field of moving image preservation as a whole.
