Sponsorship Package - Reel Canadian Film Festival

8th Annual Festival:
January 15 - 17, 2016
Sponsorship Package
Our Vision
The Reel Canadian Film Festival aims to celebrate the very best of modern Canadian Film.
Respecting our national identity and cultural heritage through the diversity of filmmaking, we will
welcome and celebrate all aspects of the industry, from writers and directors to locations and
acting and production talent.
Our Goal
Our volunteer-run committee’s goal is to build on the 7-year strength of past festivals and bring an
even better event to Fernie for our 8th Annual production. We will offer multiple screenings, shorts
programming and special receptions with visiting guests and a gala atmosphere.
Sponsorship Opportunities
With assistance from the Toronto International Film Festival, The City of Fernie, Columbia Basin Trust,
The Arts Station and Vogue Theatre plus local businesses, sponsors and donors, the festival adds
diversity to the annual cultural offerings in the Elk Valley. This festival will continue to grow into a
tourist destination event that further augments an already active tourist industry.
Get Involved
We need your help - there are several ways you can sponsor this exciting event! Please take a
look at the sponsorship opportunities available to you on the next page.
This year, we are once again presenting the festival on the third weekend in January: a perfect
time for both locals and tourists to enjoy films in the comfort of the Vogue at the coldest and
darkest times of the year. Our event is the perfect way to kick off the New Year in style and our
sponsors will enjoy heightened visibility throughout the year following the festival.
Please support the Reel Canadian Film Festival to ensure the complete success of this exciting
venture and help us create a legacy for the future.

Benefits of the Reel Canadian Film Festival for the Fernie community:
Gives both locals and visitors
the opportunity to see great
current Canadian feature films
and shorts that they would not
otherwise have the chance to see.
Adds to the offerings of events
available to locals and tourists
during what tends to be the
coldest & darkest time of year.
Attracts tourists from out of town
who may not have been to Fernie
before. We have had film fans
travel all the way from Winnipeg to
meet our special guests in the past!
