Description
A patron plays a very important role in the changes we wish to implement in the film industry. We value the support that we are given and want you to be a part of our future. By supporting Raindance, you are supporting emerging talent and leaving a stamp in the history of film. You can become an integral part of the Raindance spirit and have access to events that feature artists who are working effortlessly to tell stories which change the world.
Raindance patrons receive unrivalled access to the Raindance Film Festival and the British Independent Film Awards, plus year round benefits.
We continuously follow the latest trends in technology, the film industry and most importantly the world around us. Raindance is pleased to be able to give a platform to emerging filmmakers and creators.
During the 26th Raindance Film Festival in 2018 and with very little budget, we were proud to host events and panels in which professionals discussed the future and current state of the film industry and the diversity it deserves to represent, including #TIMESUP, BAME Casting, Disability, Emerging Filmmakers, Queer Cinema, and the F-Rated Programme celebrating female filmmakers.
To continue our mission to promote diversity in the film industry and to discover the brightest and most talented filmmakers who will make this industry a better place, we need help of our patrons.
Raindance is responsible for the resurgence of filmmaking in the UK and deserves your support
Ken Loach
As a patron, you gain access to:
- The British Independent Film Awards, which aim to highlight and reward the best, most innovative and creative independent filmmaking and filmmakers in the UK
- Raindance’s Independent Filmmakers Ball, a fundraising event with proceeds going to the 27th Raindance Film Festival, and in particular to our Emerging Filmmaker’s Day, a day of free events aimed at 16-25 year old young filmmakers.
- Raindance Film Festival, the UK’s largest independent film festival. Patrons can choose to promote a film, filmmaker or topic that they are passionate about by sponsoring the screening
The Raindance Film festival and the British Independent Film Awards make a unique and very special contribution to the UK. They should be taken very seriously.
