Advertisement in the program

→  File formats: PDF or image files (*.tif, *.eps, *.jpg at 300 dpi)

→  All files must be free of trim and bleed marks.

→  All colors must be set up as four-color process colors (CMYK).

→  Would you like to place more than one ad? No problem—just use the message field provided below.

By sponsoring a film, you support a selected festival film and, as a dedicated sponsor, are directly associated with this highlight of the program.

Sponsorship is a visible commitment to promoting culture and the art of film. As a film sponsor, your institution will be featured in the program booklet with your name and logo, as well as highlighted in our social media communications on Facebook and Instagram—including links to your channels upon request.

Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to introduce your institution during the film’s introduction—either in person or via a pre-recorded video message.


Important note: Unlike advertisements in the program booklet, film sponsorships are available only in limited numbers. Only one sponsorship is awarded per festival film, giving this commitment a particularly exclusive character.

Please note that a non-binding inquiry does not constitute a reservation. It is therefore possible that no film sponsorships will be available at the time of your inquiry.
