ABOUT THE FILM ARTS

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.


CAMBRIA FILM FESTIVAL


Each February, we host an international competition film festival focused on romance, romantic comedies, and the complexities of love. Now planning for our 6th 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 8-11, 2024 

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