SAN FRANCISCO JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL 44 MEDIA ACCREDITATION POLICY
The Jewish Film Institute (JFI) welcomes journalists and media representatives to San Francisco Jewish Film Festival 44 (SFJFF44), July 18 – August 4, 2024, in the San Francisco Bay Area. All Festival Media inquiries are handled by JSONG Studio and Chris Willard Communications, who are the contacts for any questions. Due to the demand for press tickets and anticipated sellouts, please observe the following guidelines.
Journalists, photographers, television crews, and media representatives wishing to attend screenings and events must be on the Jewish Film Institute press list. Those currently on the list need not send a letter requesting accreditation. Those who are not on JFI’s press list must email a letter from your editor or producer to press@jfi.org that confirms your assignment to cover SFJFF44 and indicates the proposed date/s that your coverage will appear online, in print, or on the air. (If you are unsure of your credential status, please email press@jfi.org). We are unable to permit any press to enter screenings unless they are on the JFI press list.
We kindly request that you observe these guidelines:
For all Festival screenings, you may attend, pending available space, by emailing press@jfi.org 24 hours before the show you want to attend. Your written request must include the name of the film, screening play date, venue, time, along with your contact information and publication name. (JFI’s office is closed on weekends. If you want to attend weekend screenings you must email before noon on Friday.)
SFJFF44 Box Office Policies
If confirmed, your tickets will be emailed to you from boxoffice@sfjff.org. Ticket holders must arrive 20 minutes before showtime to guarantee admission. Ticket holders arriving less than 20 minutes before showtime cannot be guaranteed a seat, even with a ticket. Upon arrival, look for the ticket holder line and wait until the theater is ready for seating. Venue Box Offices open 1 hour before the first screening each day and close 15 minutes following the last screening of the day. You may bring one guest to any SFJFF44 screening that begins before 4:00pm, however all guest tickets must be requested in advance. For all shows beginning after 4:00pm, you must inquire about additional ticket availability with the JFI Communications team when making initial ticketing requests.
*Please note that Opening Night and Closing Night tickets will not be held at will call. These tickets will be available from a press representative 30 minutes before the show time. Press representatives will be stationed in front of the theater with a clipboard that reads PRESS
