SFDFF Advertising: 2025 Rates and Information
2025 marks the 16th anniversary of the San Francisco Dance Film Festival and we’d love for you to join us as an advertiser. Programming will take place in early November with in-person events held at multiple venues including the Lucasfilm Premier Theater, SHACK15, Catharine Clark Gallery, and Brava Theater.
Reserve your ad space in our 2025 festival program guide to join over 3,500 attendees in celebrating the best dance films from around the world. Our program guide is more than just a booklet; it’s a ticket to engage with a community of filmmakers, dance pros, and art enthusiasts where they are most receptive to marketing messages.
When you secure a full-page ad in our program guide, you unlock exclusive benefits. Your logo will be featured on our website’s Supporters page along with an embedded link to your organization. Additionally, your logo will grab attention on the big screen during the festival’s pre-screening slideshows.
