on behalf of the company SEEPRINT s.r.o., which is the producer of the 5th
We would like to introduce this project to you along with offering you the opportunity to take part in its future development.
Its topic and content will make it a very unique and prestigious festival, one of the biggest of this kind, not only in Europe, but also worldwide.
It could be compared to well-known festivals, such are Trento (Italy), Telluride (USA), Autrans (France), Torello (Spain), and Banff (Canada). The main difference is that the International Festival of Outdoor Films is touring throughout the Czech Republic and is going to visit almost 20 different towns and cities in this season.
This event will be supported by many media partners (Czech TV, Czech Radio, newspapers, magazines, etc.) and also by many partner companies. It will be held under the patronage of the Czech Republic Ministry of Culture, the Mayor of the Czech capital – Prague, and many representatives of participating cities.
The festival is expected to present up to 100 films from almost 20 countries from all around the world; around 20,000 - 30,000 viewers are expected to attend the festival this year. The festival is going to be touring the Czech Republic for 2 months. Since its 1st year (2003), when the festival visited only 3 towns in the Czech Republic, the festival has became one of the biggest events

Re: help with proofreading
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. Some of the mistakes were just typing errors (commas, wit instead of with), some were made by not paying enough attention (viewer is expected, etc...). I understand your comments, except for two details.
1. Why is it the producer ? There are several producers involved, we are not the only producer.
2. Why is it the public ? Why is "the" necessary here ?

1. Why is it the producer ? There are several producers involved, we are not the only producer. If this is referring to my first suggestion, only Seeprint is identified as the producer. If you want to make it clear that there are others involved, then say "Seeprint..., one of the producers...."
2. Why is it the public ? Why is "the" necessary here ? It is necessary because it is the general public = a group noun, treating people as a unit.
