The Dallas Film Society partnered with the American Film Institute in 2006 to create the AFI DALLAS International Film Festival, now known as The Dallas International Film Festival, one of the fastest growing film festivals in the world.
Since 2006, the Dallas Film Society has expanded its scope to include educational programming for future filmmakers, the annual Art of Film fundraising gala that has honored Robert Duvall and John Lithgow, and year-round screening series and cinematic events for the public and DFS members.
The Dallas Film Society is open to anyone who has an interest in films and filmmaking. Join our membership and help us promote the art of filmmaking in Texas.
