About Oak Cliff Film Festival Society
Oak Cliff Film Festival Society is a Dallas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that produces the Oak Cliff Film Festival and year-round screenings, workshops, and preservation programs. The organization’s EIN (83-3104354) is published on its official website and matches the organization’s public IRS/Nonprofit Explorer filings, and it has been operating as a tax-exempt arts organization since being recognized on public filings.
The Society programs an annually held neighborhood festival and related events that showcase independent, archival, and regional filmmaking while partnering with historic Oak Cliff venues (notably the Texas Theatre) and local businesses. Festival programming regularly includes feature films, shorts, live performances, educational workshops, and community-oriented events aimed at both filmmakers and general audiences.
In recent seasons the Society has operated at a small-to-midsize non-profit budget scale (annual revenues reported in recent filings in the mid-six-figures range) and has sustained local grant and partner support. The Oak Cliff Film Festival continued in 2024–2025 with multi-venue programming, student workshops and community partnerships, demonstrating ongoing, active operations and donor-facing programming.
