Why should you sponsor the Festival?

Inclusivity is our hallmark by uniting our audience in a celebration of cinematic achievement. During times of chaos and uncertainty unity is strength. When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things are achieved. Our mission is celebrating film by sharing and strengthening our cultural commitment to our community and the world at large.
