Why should I donate to ISF?

In 2008, Imagine Science Films hosted the first Imagine Science Film Festival, screening 31 accurate and entertaining science-in-fiction films over 10 days, with 2,000 audience members in attendance. This October, 2009 Imagine Science Film Festival (ISFF) will screen approximately 25 short films and 4 feature-length films at venues across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.

ISFF is a wonderful opportunity for both filmmakers and audience members; the films featured in the festival seamlessly fuse science with art, simultaneously entertaining and enlightening the audience, and also providing a unique setting for filmmakers to showcase their science-in-fiction films and compete for awards.

ISFF is the largest comunity outreach effort of Imagine Science Films. Festival costs currently make up 57% of the ISF budget, with a dedicated staff of volunteers and generous sponsors. We estimate an attendance of up to 5,000 this year — more than twice that of last year’s festival — and our expenses have grown accordingly.

But where will my donation go?

ISF is still in need of donations to fulfill the following needs:

• ISFF Screening Costs and A/V Support
• Community Outreach Efforts (including talks at local high schools)
• Grants and Prizes awarded to meritorious filmmakers
• Events Advertisement, Promotion and Public Relations
• Staff Compensation (currently pro-bono only)

As a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit, your donations to ISF will be tax deductable. Because overhead makes up only 9% of of our 2009 operating costs, you can be assured that your donation goes back into the community and the arts almost directly.

Please remember that every donation, regardless of size, is important to the Imagine Science Film Festival!
