The St. Lawrence International Film Festival is an annual world-class event established to showcase the best in new and classic films to a worldwide audience in the picturesque St. Lawrence River Valley.
Through partnerships on both sides of the US/Canada border, St. Lawrence International Film Festival seeks to encourage cultural exchange, tourism and trade by combining the region's unique academic, natural, urban and rural resources into a truly international event headquartered in Canton and Potsdam, NY.
Our audience is comprised of filmmakers and film fans from around the world, between the ages of 26 and 50 years old with average household income of $100k. They're a tech-savvy, educated group nearly evenly split between 52% women and 48% men.
Traditional and digital media impressions exceeded 150,000,000 nationally, 4.5 million regionally, with social media impressions reaching 1.6 million people across Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
2015 was the Festival's inaugural event featuring Dan Aykroyd as the guest of honor at our Gala 35th anniversary screening of "The Blues Brothers." The Festival screened over 70 films and hosted over 25 fimmakers representing 15 different countries.
