We pride ourselves on creating unique, customized partnerships and branding opportunities for our sponsors. Though the Sidewalk Film Festival is our premiere event, we host a variety of special screenings, educational classes, and workshops, as well as networking events on a year-round basis so a relationship with us is not limited to the Festival week.

To learn more about becoming a Sidewalk Film Festival sponsor, check out our packages below or theĀ Sidewalk Festival Sponsor Deck 2023. We also have sponsorships available for our year-round educational opportunities, which you can find listed in the Sidewalk Film Center + Cinema Education/Outreach Sponsorship Opportunity Guide. You can also sponsor one of our special programs held throughout the year. Check out the opportunities for Black Lens Film Series (February), Women in Film Series (March), Alabama Film Week (April), SHOUT LGBTQ+ Film Series (June), Festival de Cine (September), and our Jewish Film Series (November).

Want to see your name in lights year-round? Check out our Podcast or our Screen Advertising Opportunities for the cinema.
