Sponsorship
Since 1988, Boston Jewish Film has presented the best contemporary independent films from around the world.
Each November, over 10,000 people attend our 12-day Boston Jewish Film Festival, where 50 films from around the world entertain filmgoers at cinemas across Greater Boston. Visiting filmmakers, musicians, comedians, and local experts create a unique opportunity for intellectual discussion and live entertainment.
The Festival receives extensive coverage both online and in print in the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, The Forward, Where Magazine: Boston, The Improper Bostonian, JewishBoston.com, and on radio and television.
According to our annual survey, 86% of our film attendees visit our website (www.bostonjfilm.org) to view the film schedule, purchase tickets, and check Festival news. Our site gets over 20,000 visitors during the peak months of October and November.
Our filmgoers are well-educated and affluent:
- 78% female
- Almost two-thirds have a Master’s degree or above
- Top professional areas: education, health care, and technology
In addition to visibility within this desirable demographic, sponsorship of Boston Jewish Film connects your organization with one of the highest-quality cultural events in the Greater Boston area. Our partners demonstrate their commitment to the community by associating themselves with our well-known mission and values.
Please contact Susan Adler, Executive Director sadler [at] bostonjfilm.org for more information about our sponsorship packages.
