About the Tiburon International Film Festival

The Tiburon International Film Festival seeks to provide a greater understanding of the world and its many cultures through the artistic medium of film, and through the top quality films from around the world that would not be accessible without an event of this nature, TIFF wishes to enhance tolerance between people of all backgrounds. Our goal is one of cultural enrichment and heightened cultural awareness. TIFF strongly believes in "Understanding the World through Film." Throughout its history there has been an undeniable link between Tiburon and San Francisco, which has made possible a special kind of cultural exchange between the two. The Festival hopes to continue that tradition (view TIFF webpage).
