Teenagers in the NJFP tell their own stories from their own point of view. Closely guided by Citizen Film’s internationally acclaimed team of filmmakers, young filmmakers turn the camera on themselves, their schools, homes and hang outs to take us on an intimate journey through shifting emotional and cultural landscapes. The resulting entertaining, high quality independent films provide a rare, authentic point of view on what it's like to come of age at the current complex juncture in American-Jewish history and culture.
The NJFP, produced by Citizen Film, is a program of the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival. Following premieres at the SFJFF, NJFP films are regularly presented by exhibitors ranging from PBS affiliates, international film festivals and art museums to community centers and high schools nationwide.
Called "inspiring" in the SF Bay Guardian, "well crafted" in the New York Times and celebrated with a Golden Gate Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival, work produced in the NJFP has reached hundreds of thousands of viewers. Tell us why you would be interested in telling your own story and sharing it with a large audience. Applications will be reviewed on a first come, first serve basis. Don't wait.
