*"THE REGION'S PREMIER FILM EVENT" Carla Meyer - Sacramento Bee*
*19th SACRAMENTO FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL*
*VIRTUAL EDITION: 10 DAYS, 10 FILMS JUNE 19-28, 2020*
*Dear Amis du Festival,*
*It is official!*
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 19th edition of the Sacramento French
Film Festival will be virtual.
Held over 10 days, June 19-28, 2020, the SFFF will present a collection of
about 10 new feature films, otherwise unavailable in the U.S. that you will
be able to watch on-demand, from the comfort of your home.
Despite social distancing, we will keep our event festive and convivial
with virtual Q&A sessions & partnerships with local restaurants.
We are aware that a lot of people are facing or will face financial
difficulties due to the pandemic and we haven’t sent out our annual appeals
for support this year. But, even though we will not incur some of the usual
expenses associated with producing our main Festival live, *we face a new
set of costs to host and manage virtual screenings*, and *your help is
still essential to make it happen. *
*How you can help!*
*VIRTUAL CINEMA: Stream French films with the Sacramento French Film
Festival!*
*As you may know, we have started offering Virtual Cinema on demand * and*
virtual Q&As *to stay connected (*FIND OUR CURRENT LINEUP HERE
<https://sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/movie2020_virtual_cinema.htm>*)!
Your rental supports the Festival.
The cost to stream each film is $10 or $12, and the SFFF gets 50% of the
net revenue. So watching a film is a great way to show your support while
getting to escape to France for a few hours!
Watch for new arrivals tomorrow...
*DONATE!*
*If you are in a position to give*, we would truly appreciate your
much-needed support to allow us to continue our programs, virtually and –
fingers crossed – back in a real theater once it is safe to do so! Your
donations will also help us plan for our 20th anniversary season of events
next year.
*Please note* that due to the uncertainty of the situation, we are unable
to announce benefit packages for our sponsors at this time (FYI, the 2019
Sponsoring levels are listed below. We will do our best to offer benefits
appropriate to your donation level, which could include MiniFest admission
this year).
*You can donate through PAYPAL HERE
<https://sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/contribute.htm> (Click on the
yellow "Donate" Button at the top right corner of the page.)*
Merci for donating what you can, if you can.
We are extending a huge thanks to those of you who have already sent their
donations, your loyalty means a lot. We are pleased to recognize you HERE.
<https://sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/sponsors.htm#amis>
*SPREAD THE WORD!*
More than ever, you can be our ambassadors! This year, there will be no
need to travel to Sacramento to attend the Festival and you can share the
love with your French & film loving friends all over the U.S.
We encourage you to share the link to our virtual portal broadly on social
media when it becomes available!
*Merci !*
Although we will miss getting together, we are grateful to be able to
continue presenting the Festival by bringing the best of France to
Sacramento living rooms! We hope you'll let us in...
In these distressing times, we hope that you, your family, and your friends
are staying healthy and safe.
Sincerely,
*Cécile & the SFFF Team*

*"THE REGION'S PREMIER FILM EVENT" Carla Meyer - Sacramento Bee*
*Dear Amis du Festival,*
*It is now official, the 19th Sacramento French Film Festival will go
virtual in June!* We don’t know exactly what it will look like yet, but we
are exploring options in partnership with film distributors in the U.S. and
in France, so please save the date, June 19-28, 2020!
*As you know, we have already started offering Virtual Cinema on demand for
you to enjoy,* and * virtual Q&As to stay connected *(find our current
lineup HERE
<https://sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/movie2020_virtual_cinema.htm> and
below)! The cost to stream each film is $10 and the SFFF gets 50% of the
net revenue, so watching a film is a great way to support the Festival
while getting to escape to France for a few hours.
*Our other plan for our 2020 Season is, if everything goes well, to
“maximize” our MiniFest in October by expanding to 2 or 3 days. *Again, we
are currently exploring various options.
While we are making our plans, we are aware that a lot of people are facing
or will face financial difficulties due to the pandemic and we haven’t sent
out our annual appeals for support this year.
*We are making an exception today on the occasion of Sacramento’s Big Day
of Giving. *
Even though we will not incur some of the usual expenses associated with
producing our main Festival, we face a new set of costs to host and manage
virtual screenings, and your help is still essential to make it happen. If
you are in a position to give, we would truly appreciate your much-needed
support to allow us to continue our programs, virtually and – fingers

best to offer benefits appropriate to your donation level, which could
include MiniFest admission this year.
*We are not participating in the official Big Day of Giving online donation
system,so please donate to us directly *and your full donation will come to
us!

are staying healthy and safe.
