About IONCINEMA

IONCINEMA is a film media outlet founded by Eric Lavallée, operating from Canada and publishing on YouTube as @ioncinema. The channel posts festival interviews, press conference questions, exclusive trailers and clips, and reviews, often from Venice, Toronto and other major festivals. Per the creator's website, Lavallée holds a BFA in film studies and serves on or belongs to several critics' organizations, including FIPRESCI and the Golden Globes voting body.

Uploads are frequent during festival seasons, with about 30 videos in the last 90 days and a median runtime of about 10 minutes. Viewership is small, with a median of 188 views per video, so the audience is best described as a niche group of cinephiles and festival followers rather than a mass audience; this is an estimate.

Brands seeking arthouse, festival or independent film audiences may fit well. At an estimated $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views, a sponsored video would be priced at $150 to $250, which is a rate per video rather than a CPM comparable to paid ads at $10 to $30 CPM.
