Advertising

The 2018 BlackStar Film Festival is expected to attract nearly 5,000 participants through its promotional marketing and strategic partnerships with national and regional sponsors. During this four-day event, the official Program Guide provides information on the films, programs, and parties and is a wonderful opportunity to advertise products and services to our diverse audience. The Festival attracts an audience with highly desirable demographics, featuring a cross-section of millenials and gen-xers between the ages of 25 and 44. Patrons are a mix of upscale, sophisticated filmgoers from across the United States and other corners of the world.

BlackStar has two major advertising opportunities that allow your organization or business to reach our large and diverse audience. The first is through the purchase of print ad space in our high quality, full-color program guide. The second is a digital ad onscreen in the theater before film and educational programs.

Circulation: We print 2,000 copies of our program guide. Take a look at last year’s guide. The majority of those printed are distributed locally; however copies are circulated nationally and internationally to filmmakers, production companies, other film festivals, distributors, broadcasters, and sponsors.
