Non-profit

A non-profit charitable society incorporated in 2010, whose mission is to educate, inspire and activate our community through a festival of independent documentary film from Canada and around the world.

Admission by donation

We are a unique film festival: admission is, and always has been, by donation. This ensures that everyone is welcome and no one is turned away. If you can, please give generously so that we can continue this tradition.

Social justice

During the Festival Weekend the Salt Spring Film Festival Society hosts a Social Justice Bazaar. Many local organizations gather to educate the audience of their activities in the social fabric of Salt Spring Island.
