Letter and Agreement (PDF)

The 14th annual Tampa Bay Jewish Film Festival is coming soon! Now is the time to plan your support of this unique and important cultural event for the entire Tampa Bay Jewish community. By becoming a sponsor, your organization will contribute to enhancing the overall quality of Jewish cultural life and identity in the Tampa Bay area.

“Historically, one of our most effective community-building initiatives has been the Tampa Bay Jewish Film Festival, a program offered by the Tampa Jewish Community Center, and the Suncoast Jewish Community Center. The festival celebrates Jewish culture and mirrors the richness and diversity of the Jewish experience. It also educates and entertains in many potent and powerful ways. Most importantly, it engages more Jewish people than almost anything else we do.” – Gary Gould, CEO, Tampa Jewish Community Center and Federation

We invite you to support the Tampa Bay Jewish Film Festival, contribute to the prominence of film, and at the same time be part of the most inclusive arts and cultural event in the greater Tampa Bay area. The March 2010 festival will be held in venues across the Tampa Bay area: the historic landmark and beautiful Tampa Theatre, Muvico Theaters at Baywalk, and the Marshall Center at the University of South Florida.
