You have our deepest gratitude for supporting the Ashland Independent Film Festival for the past 19 years and for making the new AIFF Film Center a reality. We couldn’t have done it without you. Your donations, which were doubled by matching grants, raised over $40,000 to open and establish new programs at the Film Center! This is a record for our end-of-year fundraising campaigns and a true indicator of the deep and warm support we have received for this new endeavor.
We hope that you will attend future events in the new AIFF Film Center on Ashland’s Main Street and join us as we envision and plan programs to come.
Because of YOUR generosity, AIFF can expand the exhibition of diverse cultural voices through independent film year-round.
Many thanks from all of us at AIFF and warm wishes for a happy New Year.
All the best,
Richard Herskowitz
Artistic & Executive Director
P.S. For those who donated $100 or more, as Film Center founders, look for details about the opening party in an email to come soon!
