The Independent Jewish World Cinema (IJWC) is the parent non-profit of the East Bay International Jewish Film Festival. The IJWC also supports and directs our between-festival programming. We became an independent tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization with a Board of Directors in 2015. Our federal non-profit tax ID number is 36-4821405.  

​

Our mission is to build a vibrant cultural community, using films that celebrate the Jewish experience and people. Through the power of film, speakers and other forms of media, we hope to connect our local Jewish community with diverse religious and ethnic groups, encourage inclusion, and educate about the ramifications of prejudice and stereotyping.
