BECOME A FESTIVAL PARTNER!

SEBASTOPOL DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL
PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES 

In 2025, SDFF will be 18 years old and catching its stride – a Curtain Raiser Screening and SDFF Streaming  were added to the live festival last year, expanding audiences, while being an Academy Award® Qualifying Festival attracts the work of excellent documentarians to our screens. The combination of these two additions translates directly into more visibility for each of our partners as logos are viewed on every screen at every event.

Join us in bringing the work of non-fiction story tellers to appreciative audiences while increasing your company’s revenue possibilities.

BECOME A PARTNER IN THIS UNIQUE EVENT

We have strengthened our commitment to deliver a festival that preserves the integrity, security and the value of our filmmakers’ endeavors to as wide an audience as possible. To that end, our 16th festival contains films that address diverse subjects and cultures as well as Q&A sessions with filmmakers and panels on a range of subjects. Curated from over 600 submissions, the films meet the standard we have set at SDFF and our carefully chosen panels address topics of interest to filmmakers and film patrons, locally as well as globally. 

The addition of SDFF Streaming gives every one of our partners all of the benefits of a local festival, plus an additional means of being seen in the virtual landscape that has become a primary source of information and commerce. Your participation in SDFF 2023 allows your business and your brand to be seen by this diverse community of local as well as virtual patrons with varied needs and wants. Consider how we can work together for the benefit of both your business and the work that SDFF does to support visual nonfiction storytellers whose commitment to their art informs every frame of their work.
