SPONSORSHIP & ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES
Now regarded as one of the UK's major arts/cultural events, Borderlines Film Festival will take place from 28 February to 15 March in up to 25 screening venues throughout Herefordshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire and Powys.
Borderlines is recognised as one of the top 5 film festivals in England with an enviably high attendance level and an outstanding programme of British and world cinema.
We can only achieve this level of success with the help of key funders such as The British Film Institute awarding funds from The National Lottery, The Elmley Foundation and Hereford City Council, supported by a host of sponsors and corporate advertisers.
The forthcoming festival offers you an opportunity to associate with one of the most eagerly anticipated, well-attended and widely publicised social and cultural events across the heart of England for its 23rd edition.
