PHOENIX CRITICS CIRCLE
The Phoenix Critics Circle is dedicated to promoting both the larger film industry and our local film community. We are writers, reviewers, and cinema historians moving the conversation forward, through print, broadcast, and online media both within Arizona and nationwide.
Because of our affiliation with the Phoenix Film Foundation, PCC members also serve as hosts for movie screenings hosted by the foundation, question and answer sessions with filmmakers, and judges for the annual Phoenix Film Festival.
