RAISING ADDITIONAL FUNDS

The Tournées Festival Grant may not cover all your expenses. In addition to the rental fees (which range from $200 to $600 per film) you will be charged a shipping fee for film prints. Rental rates are subject to distributors’ discretion and are out of our control. However, they may be negotiable.

We recommend that you collaborate with other academic departments or student groups, or seek private commercial sponsors in your community in an effort to find additional funding. You may also charge admission for your screenings.

PUBLICIZING YOUR SCREENINGS

Try to show your films to as large an audience as possible. Publicize them in your community. Contact other academic departments, cultural institutions, and high schools nearby that might be interested in French films. Place an ad in your local or student newspaper. Put posters up on your campus. Create a festival website.

The Tournées Festival postcard: you are to use the 500 oversized postcards that FACE will provide. This promotional tool will enable you to promote your Tournées Festival, including your larger festival of French or international films. FACE will provide several label templates on its website so that you can easily include all your festival information on the back of the postcard.

ALL PUBLICITY MATERIALS MUST INCLUDE
THE FOLLOWING CREDIT LINE(S):

“The Tournées Festival was made possible with the support of
the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and
the French Ministry of Culture (CNC).”

In the event that The Tournées Festival films are being shown as part of a larger festival, the following must be included after each Tournées Festival film description:

“presented as part of The Tournées Festival.”

PLEASE NOTE: Your grant is contingent upon the distribution of 500 postcards and mention of the above credit line(s). We would be grateful if you could also add our sponsors to your promotional materials:

“The Florence Gould Foundation, the Grand Marnier Foundation,
highbrow entertainment, agnès b.
and the Franco-American Cultural Fund.”
