It's Annual Fund Season At The Brattle!
It's been a hectic year for many of us with the election, the World Series, and the Summer Olympics. It's also been an important year for movies, and for us at the Brattle. We are now entering our annual fund season and hope that you will be able to continue to support us, and our work at the Brattle Theatre.

As a landmark of Harvard Square throughout the last fifty years, the Brattle Theatre has weathered many changes in competition, market, audience trends, and the ever-increasing cost of real estate. Not only has it survived, but it has remained the longest running art-house in the area! We at the Brattle Film Foundation want to insure that this continues to be true for the next fifty years. But we can't do it without your support. You are a vital part of what the Brattle is. Beyond it's balcony, rear-screen projection, and old-fashioned architecture, the Brattle is its audience. The movies we screen directly reflect who you are, how diverse and interesting you are as a group. As a single screen theater we have only one income source for the films, and since 50 cents of every dollar earned through ticket revenue is paid back to the distributor, tickets sales alone cannot support the Theatre. That is why Brattle memberships and donations from our supporters are so vital.

Our Goal For 2004's Annual Fund Is To Raise $40,000
Every dollar, no matter what amount you contribute, helps us to continue to provide the quality film programming for which the Brattle has become famous! Please make a donation before the end of the year to help us reach our goal. The Annual Fund provides a valuable, unrestricted fund source to support and develop the Foundation's film programming at the Brattle Theatre.

Because of our donors the Brattle remains the only independent movie theater in Cambridge! The BFF was formed to sustain a crucial tradition - the Brattle Theatre's repertory film programming. We offer the entire history of cinema on our one screen - from Orson Welles to Wong Kar-Wai. Your contribution ensures that this vital programming continues despite the industry's constantly changing landscape and the commercial pressures of national chains (i.e. Loews and Landmark theaters). The costs and labor in providing repertory programming is higher and more demanding than in any other programming style. Its survival is only guaranteed by the continued commitment our contributors show with their donations, our members show with their memberships, and our general audience shows through their attendance!
