sponsor (AKA: show the love!)

WHY SPONSOR?  Edmonton is a movie town. We love our films. All kinds of films. That fact alone makes this festival appealing to a great number of Edmontonians. The Edmonton Journal reported in July 2009 that "Albertans are the biggest moviegoers in Canada".

All sponsorship agreements must be finalized by July prior to each annual festival.

For more details on sponsorship opportunities email: sponsorship@edmontonfilmfest.com.
