Spring Showcase, April 19-26, 2012
Year-End Giving
We hope that you remember SDAFF during the holidays in one of two ways:
- Give the gift of film this holiday season with a membership for a friend or family member.
- Remember SDAFF on your holiday gift list by supporting our Community Programs Fund.
Community Programs Fund
While SDAFF is best known for its annual festival, our other year-round programs continue to grow. Three programs (listed below) remain underfunded for 2012, and we need your help to close a $40,000 gap. Could you make a tax-deductible donation as a gift to SDAFF by the end of the year?
A filmmaking "bootcamp," Reel Voices targets disadvantaged high school students who learn to become socially conscious storytellers. The program offers hands-on experience in all stages of production and one-on-one mentorship with professional filmmakers.
Fueled by the growing demand and curiosity in Asian and Asian-American cinema, the Spring Showcase offers an 8-day exhibition of films that thrill, entertain, and move.
Every quarter we present a film that can only exist outside of the festival setting - perhaps with a guest lecture, in conjunction with a museum or other city event, or during a special ethnic holiday. These screenings expand our programming beyond into communities we might not normally reach.
We are 75% to our goal of $40,000! Thanks to everyone who has donated so far. And it's not too late to help us reach our target by 12/31/11.
As of 12/20/11
• Mail-in and Online Donations: $5,400
• Give Big San Diego: $25,000*
• Total: $30,400
* Give Big San Diego match currently being calculated
