Organization description:
The National Center for Jewish Film (NCJF) is a nonprofit motion picture archive, distributor and resource center, housing the largest, most comprehensive collection of Jewish-theme film and video in the world, outside of Israel. The mission of NCJF is to collect, preserve and exhibit films with artistic and educational value relevant to the Jewish experience, disseminating these materials to the widest possible audience. NCJF exclusively owns an estimated 14,000 reels of film, including feature films, documentaries, shorts, newsreels, home movies, and institutional films dating from 1903 to the present, from across the globe. In addition to its own restored materials, NCJF represents the work of over 100 independent filmmakers, distributing their productions to film festivals, institutions and individuals. NCJF’s first priority is the preservation and restoration of rare and endangered film materials.
