The JFI Doc Lab (originally founded in 2013 as the JFI Filmmakers in Residence program) is the only U.S.-based fellowship dedicated to the incubation of feature-length Jewish documentaries. The year-long, primarily virtual program accepts a small number of Fellows and provides them with the tools and resources needed to share essential and untold stories about Jewish culture, life, and identity. The Lab has become increasingly recognized for the excellence, innovation, and diversity of films with supported projects having premiered at leading film festivals worldwide and securing national and international distribution deals.
The JFI Filmmaker Services newsletter is tailored to filmmakers working with Jewish themes. Join our community today.
