Projections Sponsorships

Projections is Bryn Mawr Film Institute's premier publication, a 20-page, full-color brochure published quarterly to announce BMFI's upcoming films, special events, and film studies classes.

Your company or organization can be part of Projections, appearing with other fine Main Line businesses that support BMFI.

Features

  • Projections remains current for three months as a reference for all BMFI film series, scheduled filmmaker appearances, special events, and Film Education courses.

  • Projections is published four times per year and distributed to over 44,000 individuals, households, and businesses annually.

Advertising in Projections and the bonus listing on BMFI's screen gives instant credibility to my company... I'm also able to make a funding difference to this remarkable cultural contribution to our community... and that really pleases me!
