VIFF 2009 is here!

Things are coming together for the 2009 Vermont International Film Festival. As I type this, Labor Day weekend has ended and we’re officially in film festival season!

The festival will run a full ten days this year! That’s more than twice as long as the 2008 festival. As usual, we’ll be screening a wide variety of independent, international and Vermont-made films at the Palace 9 in South Burlington.

Get all the latest up-to-date festival announcements and screening info by watching this blog, following VIFF on Twitter, and/or joining our Facebook group.

You can help support VIFF in several important ways.

DONATE
Ticket sales alone don’t begin to cover the cost of putting on a great festival every year. We only exist because of the generosity and commitment to great filmmaking of local sponsors and donors. If you think you can part with a few dollars to help put on the festival, please visit our sponsorship page and click on the PayPal “donate” button. A gift of any amount is greatly appreciated.

ADVERTISE
Please consider supporting the Vermont International Film Festival with an advertisement for your business or organization in our 2009 festival program guide.

The program guide (featuring your ad) will be inserted into Seven Days the week of October 14 (circulation 34,000, readership 80,000+). An additional 6,000 copies will be distributed elsewhere and available to festival goers.

Please download the rate card (PDF) and email your questions to info@vtiff.org

ATTEND
This is the fun and easy way to help us out! Come see a bunch of movies during the festival’s run, October 23 – November 1. Sold-out screenings not only help the festival financially, but they reassure us that the work we’re doing is valued in the community and they energize the festival staff AND the film-going audiences.

Tickets to screenings and festival events will be available at the Palace 9 in October.
