Supporting Partners and Patrons

We would like to thank everyone listed below for their generous contributions.

Japan Foundation, Kabuku PR, Monster Pictures, Madman Entertainment, RTEK, ShowFilmFirst, Pier 26 Seafood Restaurant, the Fringe Festival, Mu Meson Archives and of course our venue, The Factory Theatre Marrickville, along with Arthur Cantrill, Corinne Cantrill, John Clark, Gabrielle Dalton, George Gittoes, Aspasia Leonarder, Jaimie Leonarder, David Perry, Jack Sargeant, Sontaya Subyen, Albie Thoms and Paul Winkler.

These two blogs would also not be complete without a sincere and grateful thank you to all our volunteers who enthusiastically drop flyers, programs and posters before the event as well as ensuring the smooth running of the festival throughout the event.

Without all of these people and companies mentioned in this and our previous blog, SUFF would never happen the way it is happening now.  Last but not least, we’d like to thank all of you who come to the screenings and enjoy the films as much as we do. Without you we wouldn’t have made it to our 5th birthday!

As you might imagine, it takes a lot to pull together a festival like SUFF.  We wouldn’t be able to have such a great festival without our Partners, Patrons and Supporters.  You might have seen them listed in our program – if not, here’s are some of our amazing supporters – please check out what they do and you’ll know why we love them!

This was a quick stickering in Berlin while on a tour (stickering *is* a legal form of street art in Berlin, with provisions) – hopefully we’ll get some better ones later on. Our apologies to El Bocho!

Comp tip: Going on a holiday? Taking photos of the SUFF face will help break the ice with strangers!
