Sponsors Make The Italian Film Festival Possible

Through the generous and community-minded support of several sponsors, the 2012 Italian Film Festival will provide New Mexico with another great event. The City of Albuquerque, Saggio's, Fastino's and Albuquerque Center for Plastic Surgery provide the funding to pay the expenses of the Festival. Each, in their own way, find it important to support such events and eventually the University of New Mexico Children’s Hospital.


The Italian Film Festival is also supported in another important fashion, by our media sponsors.

Television stations KRQE-TV13 and KASA-TV2 provide over-the-air commercials and outreach opportunities to let New Mexicans know about the Festival. In a similar manner, 95.5 Classical KHFM provides very valuable outreach to an important film festival audience. LithExcel provides all the excellent printing.Through their commercial, ticket-giveaway opportunities and interviews, the Italian Film Festival is known to people who appreciate such entertainment fare.


The Premium Shopping Guide will be distributing an important direct mail piece to over 200,000 households and helping the Festival to sell advanced tickets. Albuquerque the Magazine, provides advertising. The Festival print partner is Local I-Q, which will print and distribute the Festival program that will contain all the important news of this exciting event.


The Italian Film Festival and the UNM Children’s Hospital are deeply grateful for all of our sponsors. They make it happen!
