INNOVATIVE & ACCESSIBLE
Educational Film Programs
Year-round programming.
At JHIFF, we believe in building a community bound by shared experiences and a love for the cinematic arts.
Our dedication extends beyond the festival itself, with year-round programming designed to entertain, engage, and educate our community. JHIFF leverages its platform to deliver comprehensive educational programs designed to empower aspiring filmmakers and film enthusiasts. This includes a comprehensive curriculum of courses, special events, and interactive platforms such as children's film camps, discussions, workshops, and filmmaker labs.

EDUCATIONAL & COMMUNITY INITIATIVES
Our educational programming and community partnerships will bring world-renowned films, media education, and filmmaking opportunities to the local community. JHIFF will enhance the curriculum for existing high school academic programs with professional filmmakers and technical workshops. Compelling storytelling and film set children up for success by improving critical thinking skills and seeing life from a different perspective.
