2006 Sponsorship Booklet Overview Over the last five years Silver Lake Film Festival has built a solid reputation as Los Angeles’ leading independent film festival. Indeed, L. A. Weekly recently named Silver Lake Film Festival as one of Los Angeles Top 5 film events. AFI Fest didn’t make the cut. Neither did Hollywood Film Festival. What makes Silver Lake Film Festival stand out in the film capital of the world? For one thing we don’t try to be all things to all people. We’re very comfortable in our skin as Los Angeles’ premiere showcase for independent and alternative films. By virtue of our size - in 2004 the festival screened more than 275 feature, documentary and short flms – we have also become one of the largest events of its kind in the world The
audience for Silver Lake Film Festival is also special, dare we say,
even unique? They live in an area stretching from downtown Los Angeles
to Eagle Rock and from Hancock Park to Hollywood, which includes the
communities of Los Feliz, Franklin Hills, Echo Park, Atwater Village,
and yes, Silver Lake. Surrounded by the major Hollywood studios (including
Disney, Warner. Bros., and Paramount), these communities are home to
tens of thousands of film, media and entertainment industry professionals
who are prototypical "early adopters" of consumer products
and styles … educated, hip, trendsetters whose positions in the
media and entertainment make them the quintessential influentials. What attracts this attractive group of film-goers to choose Silver Lake Film Festival as their preferred film events? In a word, they know we’re fearless. Our programming is known nationally, and increasingly internationally, for its risk-taking, provocative, no-holds-barred approach. Like the films we favor, this is not programming by committee but by personal vision. Where else could you see the premiere screening of a new feature about drug addiction in the post dot.com era entitled “Gucci Crackheads Battle Nihilism”; the Los Angeles debut of a documentary about one of the giants of the art world and his obsession with opera, “David Hockney: The Colors of Music”; one in a series of films by independent filmmakers in Thailand, and a panel seminar on film finance sponsored by the august law firm of Sheppard Mullins …. all on the same evening (Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2004 to be exact)? We proudly carry the banner of eclecticism and when that overlaps into celebritydom, well, all the better. Over the years, we have honored actor luminaries John C. Reilly, Mark Ruffalo and Laura Dern; international trail-blazing directors Kim Ki Duk, Olivier Assayas and Ming-liang Tsai, and Americans filmmaking icons Kenneth Anger, Penelope Spheeris and Allison Anders. The 2006 festival promises to continue in the tradition of offering the best in independent and alternative filmmaking from around the corner and around the world. Sponsorship opportunities are outlined below. Individual packages can be created upon request. The Media Loves Silver Lake Film Festival “One
of the top 5 film festivals in Los Angeles…. Always amazing.”
"Moviegoers
would be hard pressed to find a more impressive fiesta of Southern California
alternative chic than the SILVER LAKE FILM FESTIVAL…What distinguishes
SLFF is its tonal quality, ranging from outsider angst to scintillating
eclecticism to plain ol' freakness…Because it's a "multi-arts"
gathering, you're as likely to catch a skateboard demonstration as an
all-girl Black Sabbath cover band called War Pigs, but ultimately it's
about the cinema. In keeping with the motto they field-tested last year,
the festival's directors have ensured that "the films are out there."
"One
of the few festivals devoted to discovering movies..." "A
week goes by, and another film festival is born - nothing unusual nowadays
- but it doesn't happen often in the historical birth place of Hollywood."
"An
eclectic array of pics..."
The
festival draws in the ''Young Urban Professionals" who are risk
takers, non-conformists and adventure seekers Demographics Age: 24
