Get Involved: Benefactor Opportunities

Our history

Since 1993, the Raindance Film Festival has screened independent films in the heart of London. We are very proud of the films and filmmakers we have featured. Filmmakers like James Marsh (Man On Wire) who screened his first feature, the stunning Wisconsin Death Trip in 1999. Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) screened his early short (Doodlebug) and his first two features: Following and Memento.

Who will be the new discovery this year?

What your support does

Organising, and delivering an international film festival costs much more money than we receive from the box office. Last year we had a record breaking box office which covered just over 12% of our annual budget. The balance is secured through commercial sponsorship. Benefactors like you allow us to maintain and expand our programme.What's on offer this year?
