Promote Your Business With Open Cinema

Item posted Sep 192007 in Advertise with OC

OPEN CINEMA is offering ethical businesses a low cost opportunity to advertise at our popular café screening events and on our newly updated website, going live September 25th 2007.

OPEN CINEMA (OC) screens thought-provoking films at Herman’s Jazz Club and other non-traditional venues, followed by open forum discussion with invited guests on the social issues addressed by the film.

A non-profit society founded in 2003, OC has become a popular feature in Victoria’s cultural landscape, drawing capacity crowds (120+) of all ages between October and May, and receiving significant local media attention.

OC’s informed and motivated audiences take advantage of the full bar and restaurant menu, arriving up to 90 minutes before the film starts. During this time, a high quality, prominent, rotating powerpoint presentation acknowledges sponsors and supporters. We have a limited number of spaces for paid advertising still available!
