Catalogue Ads

Our program catalogue is the main source of information for the festival. In the catalogue you will find descriptions of events, artists and screenings as well as the festival schedule.

The program catalogue will be placed in every delegate package (1000+) and will be available to all guests at our information booth. Advertising in the program catalogue gives you guaranteed exposure to imagineNATIVE’s festival audiences. Your ad will be seen many times as the catalogue will be read and referred to constantly by festival-goers throughout the six-day festival.

On-Screen Ads

Our pre-screening slides provide a valuable platform to reach an engaged audience totaling up to 3,500 guests over six days of programming at the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival. On-screen advertisements play in-cinema during the pre-show loop prior to every screening shown during the Festival.

Pre-screening slides will play with the lights up before every screening during the 20th festival. Your purchased on-screen ad will play at least 10 times at each screening (approximately 30 screenings). That means your ad will be shown a minimum of 300 times in front of our audience!

This year for the first time, imagineNATIVE will be offering an opportunity to purchase an on-screen trailer slot to play in front of every screening during the festival (approx. 30 screenings). Trailers will play with the lights down before the film starts.

GUEST GUIDE

Our guest guide is a booklet with recommendations of Toronto’s best places to eat, drink, shop and be entertained. In this booklet you will find listings of our hospitality partners with a map to festival locations. To be listed as one of our hospitality partners we invite you to consider promoting your business through discounts and offers.

We also invite you to place an advertisement in the guest guide.
