Cinema St. Louis, Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival, or SLIFF as the locals call it, is a very big deal in the film industry. This festival, which had its modest beginnings in 1992 with screenings of 25 movies, has grown over the years, and in 2014 it screened 375 films from more than 50 countries throughout the course of ten days.

About 24,000 moviegoers came to see what was going on in the world of independent productions, poignant international movies, and high-quality studio movies that haven’t yet been released commercially. The festival now attracts big movie names and takes over the city, but for movie buffs of St. Louis, it is a unique opportunity to see some incredible films that wouldn’t be screened in their city otherwise. Visit from November 5-15, 2015.
