In 2010, the NJFP will roll out a multi-media exhibit, disseminated by the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival’s New Media Initiative. The exhibit will combine films, text, photographs and audio designed to engage audiences in a conversation about what it means to come of age on the border between Jewish identity and mainstream American life.
Produced by documentary production company Citizen Film, the New Jewish Filmmaking Project is a program of the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival which provides showcase venues for our work. The films of the NJFP have been viewed by more than 300,000 people to date through collaborations with public television and exhibition in classrooms nationwide.
