Its signature program, the annual San Francisco Jewish Film Festival (SFJFF), is the worlds first and most revered showcase of independent Jewish film, taking place throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. JFI provides significant support for filmmakers and artists exploring Jewish themes and identities, including the JFI Completion Grants, which provide finishing funds to jury-selected projects, and creative, marketing, and production support for its annual cohort of Filmmakers in Residence.

JFI held a 16-day festival, with in-person weeks of screenings at the Herbst Theatre, AMC Kabuki 8, the Roxie, the Vogue, and the SFJCC in SF, and at the Piedmont Theatre in the East Bay. The festival show-cased more than sixty-five films from twenty countries for a worldwide audience and presented conversations and Q&As with filmmakers. 363685 JFIs Filmmakers in Residence honed their creative visions during the year-long residency through workshops, training, peer-to-peer mentorship, and JFIs fifth annual Pitch & Kvell, during which Residents presented their projects to industry veterans and the JFI community for feedback and guidance. The purpose of the residency is to support filmmakers who are working on films with Jewish content by providing consulting and mentorship from JFI's program staff who are all working filmmakers. The Filmmaker in Residence program has been in existence for 12 years and, through this program, JFI is creating a community of filmmakers. In 2024 JFI mentored 6 Residents. 305496 98000 The JFI Completion Grants Program, the first and only US-based source of finishing funds for Jewish-content films of all genres, awarded $98,000 to seven original projects in its fifth year. Since the programs launch in 2020, well over half of JFIs grantees have completed their films. Many have premiered at leading international film festivals to awards recognition and critical acclaim. The program supports original stories that promote thoughtful consideration of Jewish history, life, culture, and identity. Priorities are given to projects that offer fresh, challenging perspectives; reflect untold stories or under-represented communities; and engage audiences across cultural lines. 1390097 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true false true false false false false true false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false true 31 0 true 25 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 18 18 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X Jewish Film Institute 4156210556 145 Ninth Street 200 San Francisco CA 94103 Alexandra Leban President & ED 40.00 0.00 X 189000 0 0 F Lawrence Ewing Dir. of Finance 40.00 0.00 130032 0 0 Nate Gellman Dir. of Dev & Comm 40.00 0.00 117049 0 0 Evan Abrams Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Eric Cohen Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ralph Guggenheim Board Chair 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Marissa Wertheimer Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Craig Seidel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Hechinger Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Victoria Stone Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Pearce Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alexander Germanacos Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeanne Miller Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Rosenberg Audit Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sandra Monteko-Sherman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lori Campbell Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Neil Fink Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barbara Shragge Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Libitzky Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Arnheim Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ronnie Fuchs Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 436081 3 false true false 0 157859 1235547 121259 1393406 Membership Fees 512000 31806 31806 Program Income 512000 21539 21539 Ticket Sales 512000 155898 155898 209243 3629 3629 0 0 0 22919 22919 22919 22919 0 0 0 Other Income 512000 1551 1551 1551 1630748 210794 26548 X 88000 88000 0 10000 10000 0 189000 116694 28923 43383 0 693782 428359 106172 159251 0 113641 70165 17391 26085 69683 43024 10664 15995 0 0 0 0 0 0 202658 154310 32520 15828 19858 19858 65892 24787 7435 33670 0 0 107797 51055 23769 32973 200831 195022 1008 4801 0 0 0 0 0 7625 3660 1601 2364 In-kind goods 121259 121259 Facility and Equipment Expense 46426 42537 1571 2318 Rights, rentals and royalties 20216 20216 Staff development 20000 20000 6159 1151 4265 743 1982827 1390097 235319 357411 446035 221798 0 204997 243636 177 1365 0 0 169501 169501 0 40862 11819 20421 20421 0 0 0 0 0 1343213 948394 2204785 1596513 14845 20124 5805 10705 392771 64769 413421 95598 X 1083465 909619 707899 591296 1791364 1500915 2204785 1596513 -352079 61630 X false true X true false X 1356558 1573373 1500268 1696299 1393406 7519904 0 0 1356558 1573373 1500268 1696299 1393406 7519904 325990 7193914 3 18408 26103 26548 71062 0 2085 55743 3157 20251 1551 82787 7673753 752956 0.93750 0.94030 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 18109 18109 2312 2312 Beneficial Interest in Assets of Others 912230 Investments 25880 RIGHT OF USE ASSET 10284 948394 ACCRUED VACATION 46376 Lease liability, current portion 18393 64769 1780679 85281 64650 149931 1630748 1630748 2047477 64650 64650 1982827 1982827 true Zoafilms Ltd 10000 WIRE 1 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US JFI tracks and records all expenses related to grants and ensures that they align with the grant guidelines and proposed budget.Grant reports to funders are submitted with full transparency of expenses and challenges confronted, if any. true 11th Street Films LLC 220 Manhattan Ave 4C New York NY 10025 822993903 10000 0 Awards Interloper Films Inc 1622 Pepper Drive Pasadena CA 91104 260378969 10000 0 Awards My Teez Productions LLC 66 Saint Pauls Place 3C Brooklyn NY 11226 870899082 35000 0 Awards Simcha Lieb Productions 61 Greenpoint Ave 504 Brooklyn NY 11222 134117056 18000 0 Awards Teeny Motion Pictures LLC 197 Quincy St 4C Brooklyn NY 11216 920377504 10000 0 Awards 0 5 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used JFI tracks and records all expenses related to grants and ensures that they align with the grant guidelines and proposed budget.Grant reports to funders are submitted with full transparency of expenses and challenges confronted, if any.
