The International Cinephile Society is an online organization of professional film critics and journalists worldwide.[1] It was founded in 2003[1] and, as of February 2024, has approximately 170 members—among them are Mike D'Angelo, Justin Chang (Los Angeles Times), and Stephanie Zacharek (Time).[2]

Led by Cédric Succivalli, each year the organization honors the finest in international cinema.[1] Its nominations have been noted for being different from other awards' submissions, such as the Academy Awards.[3][4][5][6] Their annual announcements have received coverage from Variety,[7] IndieWire,[8] and Screendaily.[9]
