The festival will present over 24 feature films (most accompanied by one or two entertaining shorts). Nearly all of the feature films will have a community partner - a nonprofit or like organization that has a mission consistent with the subject matter of the film. The community partners will have a representative available at the end of each film for Q & A and to direct perople who wish to get more involved in a particular issue. For more information on becoming a community partner click here or see below.

Community partners are generally membership organizations with memberships ranging from several hundred to several thousand. The Community Partners will inform their membership of the festival and Community Partner membership represents a targeted audience of over 20,000 people.

Sponsorship

There are essentially two levels of sponsorship: event sponsor and film sponsor, though for a hybrid or custom sponsorship arrangement can be made.

Event Sponsor

Event Sponsors will receive:

• Company name/logo provided as hotlink on the festival homepage and throughout online program listings
• Company name/logo provided on posters distributed around town
• Company name/logo projected on screen before each film
• Company name/logo provided on cover of festival program
• Company verbally recognized and thanked by person introducing film
• Table in theatre lobby for company to display information
• Company spokesperson can address audience at opening night
• At an additional negotiated cost, company name/logo in two Willamette Week advertisements and/or company name/logo on festival banner

Film Sponsor

Film Sponsors will receive:

• Company name/logo provided as a hotlink paired with sponsored film in online program listings
• Company name/logo provided in program as sponsoring film
• Company name/logo projected on screen before film
• Company verbally recognized and thanked by person introducing film
• Table in theatre lobby for company to display information

Film sponsorship helps defray the costs of venue rental, screening fees and film shipment and insurance. Event sponsorship helps defray the costs of a 1/2 time, 2 month administrative person, marketing expenses, office expenses, video production, printing, graphic design and web programming, theatre set-up and clean-up, volunteer recognition, and all the far too many incidentals.

Community Partnership

As alluded to at the beginning of this page, a Community Partner (CP) is a local nonprofit or like organization that has a mission consistent with the subject matter of a film. The goal is to permit audience members who are inspired by a particular film to find a local organization through which they can channel their energies. We invite a person from the CP to attend the screening and participate in a Q and A session after the film. We also provide a table in the lobby on which the CP can display their literature. It is an excellent opportunity for an organization to increase awareness (of themselves and their mission), to recruit new members, and to potentially find new funders. And it is at no cost!

What we ask in exchange is that the CP alert their membership to the particular film and the film festival, e.g., through their newsletter, email updates or other appropriate avenues.
