Tax Deductible Contribution (in any amount)  ORDER NOW

The Sonoma Valley Film Festival and all of the year-round programs and events of The Sonoma Valley Film Society are made possible through the enthusiastic participation of film-lovers, filmmakers, sponsors, and the hard work of a dedicated team. However, pass and ticket sales cover only a small percentage of each year's operating budget. The rest must come from individual donations, foundation grants, and sponsorships. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution you may do so here. Thank you! 

The best way to experience all that the Film Festival offers is with a PASS.  While we do sell limited rush tickets to screenings, pass holders have priority and are always admitted first to all programs.  We offer four different passes to choose from: PATRON PASS, PREMIER PASS, FESTIVAL PASS and Day Pass (detailed descriptions below each title).

Important Note: Patron and Premier Passes are VERY LIMITED, due to theatre and VIP venue capacity constraints. We recommend that you order these passes as soon as possible to guarantee access to special events and receptions during the Film Festival.

Any questions?  We're happy to help!  Just  email us, or call The Sonoma Valley Film Society office at 707.933.2600
