For 26 years, the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase has celebrated the creativity, courage, and stories of filmmakers with ties to our region. From students in local film programs and St. Louis artists working across the country to first-time filmmakers of any age, Showcase gives local talent the opportunity to share their work with an audience and experience it as film is meant to be seen: together, on the big screen.
As a nonprofit, Cinema St. Louis creates opportunities for people to make, discover, and connect through film, from Showcase, SLIFF, and QFest to educational workshops and hands-on camps. Since January 2023, we have also preserved and operated the historic Hi-Pointe Theatre, the only independent, nonprofit-owned cinema in St. Louis and a permanent home where local filmmakers can celebrate their work.
Your support helps keep these opportunities accessible and ensures that St. Louis stories continue to have a place on the big screen. Donate, become a member, or volunteer to sustain local film.
