Per the Filmmakers‘ section: “I struggled (and struggled) with this decision, but it costs (a lot) of money to produce a quality film festival, and the International Black Women’s Film Festival doesn’t get the level of monetary support/sponsorship that other festivals get …and it’s not for the lack of trying.”

Unless some Sugar Daddy (or Sugar Mama) decides to sponsor the entire festival, I’m going to have to charge a nominal fee –compared to other film festivals. Sorry. Hard times.
