🎬 Our Mission
The Tahiti Film Society was born from a desire to spotlight the creative soul of French Polynesia and reconnect the world with Tahiti's deeper cultural identity through film, storytelling, and artistic exchange.
We serve as the cultural arm of Luxe Life Tahiti, nurturing a space for Polynesian voices to rise, global creators to connect, and the magic of cinema to unfold under island skies.
Rooted in Reclamation. Fueled by Vision. Driven by Love.
📽️ What We Do
We are building more than a film society — we are building a movement.

🌺 Why It Matters
For too long, the image of Tahiti has been reduced to a postcard — a playground for outsiders. But beneath the turquoise waters and black pearl glow lies a deeper pulse.
The Tahiti Film Society reclaims the narrative.
Through the lens of cinema, we celebrate the beauty, complexity, and power of Mā'ohi culture while opening a stage for global collaboration and cultural reverence.
