Case Study: San Francisco Film Society boosts festival engagement and ticket sales with Ingeniux

San Francisco Film Society - Customer Case Study

The San Francisco Film Society (SFFS), producer of the annual San Francisco International Film Festival, needed a robust CMS and community platform to support both its busiest festival period and a national K–12 film-education initiative. SFFS required an extremely visual collaboration space where teachers, students, and artists could share lesson plans, videos and high‑res images, plus a responsive festival site that displayed synopses, trailers, showtimes, powerful search/filtering and integrated online ticketing.

Using Ingeniux CMS and Cartella, SFFS built a visual FilmEd community with a Lessons Exchange, featured image mosaics and video galleries, and a responsive festival site with smart Film Guide filters, calendar hover previews, and NetForum/Agile ticketing integration. The new platform streamlined workflows and improved the attendee experience—users found films and purchased tickets more easily, audience feedback was positive, and SFFS reported stronger ticket sales that helped meet and exceed revenue targets.
