A NEW PROJECTOR

Did you know... Christie Projectors have a lifespan of 20 years?
Our projector is reaching the end of its lifespan, and we need your support to bring the Stony Brook Film Festival into its next chapter.

With your help, we can purchase a new high-quality laser film projector and screen that will elevate every film screening and ensure our festival continues to shine.

Please help us meet our goal of $150,000 for this critical projector upgrade and join others who have already donated.

Stony Brook Film Festival Support

The Stony Brook Film Festival is independently funded through philanthropic support from corporate, government, and individual partners. Our donors are the reason for our continued success and great impact on the film industry and the community far and wide.

Sponsor support helps us host over 60 independent filmmakers from across the globe each year to premiere their work on our big screen and share a behind-the-scenes conversation with the audience on stage. We can provide airfare and hotels for directors, producers, actors, and others, offer personal ground transportation, and arrange dinners and parties through our hospitality partners.

The Stony Brook Film Festival offers four levels of corporate sponsorship opportunities, which we customize to meet corporate goals. Each sponsor can create a unique experience to maximize exposure through brand awareness and visibility, cross-promotional marketing, and access to special VIP events.
