After debuting with a program in the 1979 New York Film Festival, the nonprofit IFP has evolved into the nation’s oldest and largest organization of independent filmmakers, and also the premier advocate for them. Since its start, IFP has supported the production of 7,000 films and provided resources to more than 20,000 filmmakers’ voices that otherwise might not have been heard. IFP believes that independent films broaden the palette of cinema, seeding the global culture with new ideas, kindling awareness, and fostering activism.

Sponsorship of IFP’s signature programs offers companies a chance to be a integral part of unique, longstanding, key industry events, and provides the opportunity to position your company before established and emerging filmmakers, as well as major industry players in the world of film.

Thank you for considering IFP Sponsorship. For more information, please contact: Steven Pfeiffer, Development Manager: 212-465-8200 x219

Independent Film Week is qualitatively and quantitatively the best and biggest opportunity in the nation for an independent filmmaker to find a funder or producer.
