Some of the things non-profit organizations say to try and attract money are ridiculous. Tiered systems... the right to use their logo... statistics that list percentages but not an actual number of attendees...

We're just going to give it to you plain and simple. Everything we do to set this up costs money. The detailed budget document is available upon request. The more money we have, the better we can make this. We could rent better equipment for the venues, and we could fly in some very cool lecturers for translated conversations about the moviemaking arts.

But even with a smaller budget, we're getting the word out, and having an original series of collective themed screenings never before attempted here in China's capital. We counted a good 500+ attendees at the first weeklong series, and 1000+ at the second! All of us festival organizers have been and are continuing to hold multiple alternative movie screenings every month with new people attending each time, and association with us goes beyond one week in December or June- it goes year-round, to a burgeoning community of THOUSANDS of moviegoers attending a wide variety of events!

So there are two main reasons to partner with us. The first is a steady stream of publicity to a large and growing audience every month until the end of time. The second is because it is a wonderful deed to support grassroots moviemaking in China, where artists still know what struggle truly means!

Just send an e-mail if you think your organization could benefit from exposure to our audience. We advertise regularly in all major English publications in Beijing as well as several Chinese publications and websites all with a readership of over 50,000 each. Details available upon request.
