Help Build the Sayville International Film Festival

The Sayville International Film Festival is a nonprofit, community-driven and industry-connected event bringing independent cinema, filmmaker opportunity and cultural programming to Long Island.

There are many ways to support SIFF. Businesses, brands, venues and philanthropic supporters can partner with us through Cornerstone Partnership, sponsorship, in-kind support, cornerstone giving, or through our All-Access VIP Pass options. Community members can make a donation to help fund screenings, filmmaker programming, student access, local events and the operational foundation of a new annual festival.

Whether you are a local business, an industry partner, or someone who believes in independent storytelling, your support helps SIFF create something lasting in Sayville.
