Sponsors play a key part in building an annual film festival in Ypsilanti and get strongly promoted through iFFY's extensive SE Michigan outreach.

A Quick Look at Season Five (2024)

High-Quality
Indie Cinema

Our event continues to bring high-caliber independent films with a diverse mix of animation, international & local films, plus BIPOC and Queer perspectives, and kid-friendly programs to Ypsilanti and SE Michigan.

Extra Audience Engagement

We don't just show movies; we create opportunities for audience participation through Q&A, lively afterparties, and educational film workshops that connect creative enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Outreach & Partnerships

We promote iFFY widely and effectively throughout our festival month of April—with paid & organic posts across social media platforms, targeted email campaigns, features in local press outlets and through partnerships with local businesses and non-profits.
