The Sidewalk Film Festival simply would not be possible without our many sponsors and foundation supporters, and we are so proud of the diversity represented by these partnerships: from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses, Sidewalk sponsors do it all. If you are a Sidewalk fan reviewing this page, we ask you to pay close attention to the businesses you see listed and remember these companies when you are in the marketplace – your support of these sponsor businesses is important.
Thank you to our 22nd Annual Sidewalk Film Festival Sponsors!
We also partner with companies and grant-making organizations for other Sidewalk events, like Salsa Showdown and ScreenTalks. Scroll down, past the 2020 Festival sponsors, to see who is supporting our other programs and projects.
