The Sunscreen Film Festival WEST is presented by the St. Petersburg-Clearwater Film Society Inc. a non-profit 501(c) (3) and other Self-governing sponsors committed to education, commercial development, notifying the community about the skill of visual storytelling, increasing prospects for film makers to develop their art and craft, and increasing their consciousness and support of film making as a cultural and economic strength.

The SSFFW Bijou series is an ongoing screening series that pays respect to the BIJOU theatre. The "Bijou" was a significant Hermosa Landmark that generally displayed Indie Films. Thus, the Indie world has totally changed & the Bijou series will clinch the spirit of indie storytelling through all kinds of formats, genres & running times. Sunscreen is one of only a few film festivals countrywide that is backed and recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In the year 2009, Movie Maker magazine nominated Sunscreen as one of the "25 Coolest Film Festivals" throughout the country.
