The Silver City Community Film Festival returns after an amazing run in 2025, which brought filmmakers and guests from across New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, NYC and more! The festival featured 50 filmmakers and more than 60 films over the course of four days, with more than 500 tickets sold. New Mexico Magazine featured us as their #1 Thing To Do that weekend! We are excited to keep the momentum going in 2026.

Your sponsorship or advertising purchase supports all aspects of the festival, allowing us to offer panel discussions, guest filmmakers, awards, affordable ticket prices, mixers for the filmmakers, and to promote the festival throughout the Southwest Crossroads region. Your sponsorship also helps to support festival programming like our Youth Filmmaking Workshop, which will continue this year in June.

We are seeking sponsorships, program advertisements, and on-screen ad reel advertisements from individuals, businesses, and nonprofits to help cover the costs of the festival. There are various sponsorship levels and advertising options to choose from.

Sponsorship at the Youth Access level allows admission to the entire festival to be free for youth and teens (18 and under). In return for sponsoring at this level your logo will be printed on 2025 festival swag, and you will receive a special acknowledgement in the program and at each screening. Sponsorship at the Youth Access level also comes with the following:

*When you sponsor at the Youth Access, Gold, Silver, and Bronze levels, your logo will be printed on the Step & Repeat/Press Wall banner. 
*Sponsors at all levels will be listed as a sponsor in the festival publicity including social media, flyers, emails, pre-show listings, and the program.
*All sponsors will be listed on the Silver City Community Film Festival website (this will include your logo, if desired).

All sponsorships come with our immense gratitude and the satisfaction of knowing you are supporting the future of filmmaking in our community!

Early response deadline for inclusion on festival poster, Bronze level sponsors and above: Friday, August 15. The final deadline for sponsorship and advertisement is September 1. 

Become a sponsor today! Sponsorship donations, program advertisements, and on screen ad reel advertisements may be remitted by credit card at the links above or by check (made payable to “Silco Theater – MainStreet,” PO Box 4068 or delivered to the MainStreet office at the Visitor Center, 201 N Hudson Street).

Logos must be received by Friday, August 15, for inclusion on the poster. We are happy to list your name or business name on the poster if you don’t have a logo you’d like us to use.

We are excited to celebrate the stories of our community members on the big screen in October!
