For over 40 years, the Thomas Edison Film Festival (formerly known as the Black Maria Film Festival) has been celebrating the unique creativity and power of the short film. We embrace our mission to promote and advocate for independent filmmakers around the world through our juried international competition.

Thanks to our generous donors over the course of many years, people who are passionate about film can experience the innovative programming we have championed since 1981.

Your support could be proudly displayed and seen by many thousands in the form of a full-color ad, your logo displayed on our website, or an announcement at the beginning of every single film program we present.

The Thomas Edison Media Arts Consortium is a non-profit organization (501c3) and your sponsorship or personal donation is tax-deductible. For questions regarding sponsorship opportunities, please email Jane Steuerwald, Executive Director at Jane@TEFilmFest.org.
