We also organize entertainment-based special events throughout the year. Through our partnerships and programs, we aim to enrich the Central New York community by introducing them to the world of international film.

Our Vision

Our Vision is to bring to the community the latest information on the Syracuse filmmaking scene. SIFF works with the Onondaga County Film Commission to make possible local, national, and international filmmaking projects that add economic, cultural, and educational value to Syracuse and Central New York.
