Festival Supporters are the lifeblood of the Film Festival. Besides the programming - designed to enlighten, enrich and entertain - Supporters allow the Festival to welcome old friends and new visitors into this film community. Our mission is to ensure that all ages and backgrounds are offered a huge variety of films from all over the world, coupled with informative education events.

In addition, a proportion of the money raised goes back into our community through the various charitable schemes that we have initiated since 2020. These include our Apuldram mornings where we put on private film screenings for young adults from the Apuldram Centre who do not normally attend cinemas; and 'PACSO' screenings for children with disabilities and their parents & carers.

Supporters receive
• Pre-booking seat service for Opening & Closing
• An invitation to a Bubbles & Canapés reception
• Two tickets to the film of your choice
• Two tickets to any of our Silent Cinema presentations & Open Air Films
• Exclusive PRE-PUBLIC digital access to the programme
• Named thanks at Opening and Closing Night presentations
• Named thanks in our new FESTIVAL SUPPORTERS page in print & online.
Join us next year!

A big thanks you to our Film Partners as well, who have pledged to give directly towards specific film screenings. Their names can be found next to the films in the brochure, on the programme notes, and in the Festival website.
