FOCUS FILM SERIES

PTFF Focus is a year-round film series that explores important topics using film.

Our monthly screenings are often followed by facilitated discussions or informal conversations related to the films.

For each film, we partner with a nonprofit organization or small business and then collaborate on choosing and promoting a Focus film. There is no cost to the Focus partner, thanks to the generous support of sponsors.

Would your organization or business like to be a PTFF Focus presenting partner?
