jfi’s impact 2018–2020: a sneak peak

JFI champions bold films and filmmakers that expand, evolve and reframe the Jewish story. As we navigate another year of a pandemic, storytelling and film are especially important. They have the power to engage and entertain us, catalyze conversation and spark action.

We are proud to share a sneak peek at JFI’s first-ever Impact Report covering our activities from 2018 to 2020. With your support, we’ve accomplished so much. JFI has grown more fully into our identity as an institute of film and media and an incubator of new ideas.

Thank you for your generosity which makes all this possible. We are energized and hopeful as we look to our next chapter championing bold films and filmmakers that power and unfold the Jewish story.

We hope you will continue joining us on that journey.
