Join us for a return to the theatre! We'll screen a classic RomCom and give you a preview of our upcoming SummerFest - a mini-festival featuring filmmakers and issues close to the Central Coast.

Tickets will be free, but advance reservations strongly recommended due to limited seating and safety protocols. Stay tuned for details!

The CCA Film Arts program explores the magic on and behind the screens.  The program is anchored by our annual Cambria Film Festival, held in February with a focus on romance, romantic comedy and the complexities of love. Throughout the year we offer film screenings, lectures and events on the art of film.

Each February, we host an international competition film festival focused on romance, romantic comedies, and the complexities of love. Now planning for our fifth year, the Festival attracts independent short and feature-length films from around the world.  Adding to the Festival experience, we host parties, filmmaker discussion panels and special events that make the four days of film truly exceptional. 

The next Festival is scheduled for February 3-6, 2022. 

More information is available on the Festival website: www.cambriafilmfestival.com

In addition to the annual festival, the film arts program sponsors occasional screenings of recent and classic movies in the Cambria Center for the Arts Theatre. We also sponsored a virtual mini-festival during the summer of 2020 and hopes to bring that back in 2021.
