This 4-day event of screenings, workshops, seminars, forums and focused networking allows creative and executive entrepreneurs in filmmaking industries to explore and exchange ideas on the themes, issues and trends driving converging media production.

The ION International Film Festival provides many excellent high profile opportunities for sponsorship through media promotions, festival publications (catalogue, posters, flyers, etc.), website, sponsors' board at the venue and at the screening themselves. By participating as a sponsor, an organization gains wide exposure to a wide audience that is educated and culturally aware.  

The ION International Film Festival also provides a unique opportunity for innovative companies to demonstrate their products, introduce new titles and describe their vision in breakout sessions throughout the event.

We look for dynamic companies seeking to promote themselves as well as new or existing titles or products at the festival.
