ST. LOUIS - EntSun -- Cinema St. Louis (CSL) — the presenter of the Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival (SLIFF) and other annual film fests and events — is pleased to announce the receipt of a $100,000 gift from the Jane M. & Bruce P. Robert Charitable Foundation.
Half of the gift will support the annual Robert Classic French Film Festival and SLIFF's Robert French and French-Language Focus. The other $50,000 will support SLIFF's overall programming.
Cliff Froehlich, CSL's executive director, said: "Jane and Bruce Robert have been generous supporters of Cinema St. Louis for a decade. This new gift is among the largest the organization has ever received, and it will help ensure our continued success and viability in the future."
A $50,000 gift from the Robert Foundation in 2014 supported Cinema St. Louis' French programming through 2024, and this new gift extends that support through 2034 and expands its scope to include SLIFF's other programming through 2031.
