The National Foundation for Jewish Culture has played a pivotal role in this creativity through its on-going support for films and film programs. Jewish community centers, film festivals, and museums in cities such as Ann Arbor, Milwaukee, San Antonio, and Kansas City will participate in this series as part of the National Foundation for Jewish Culture's fortieth Anniversary celebrations. Jewish documentary filmmaking, and self-portraiture will be at the core of public discourse on Jewish identity, national identity and the cinematic expression of the American Jewish experience. Now celebrating its 40th Anniversary, the National Foundation for Jewish Culture is the central cultural agency of the American Jewish community dedicated to the enhancement of Jewish life in America through the support and promotion of the arts and humanities. The NFJC was founded by, and continues to receive major funding from, the Jewish Federation movement in America.
Additional support is provided by individuals, private foundations and government agencies.
Currently in its sixth year, the Fund for Jewish Documentary Filmmaking, developed with seed money from the Righteous Persons Foundation, has supported the making of original documentary films and videos that promote thoughtful consideration of Jewish history, culture, identity and contemporary issues among diverse public audiences.
