Noe Valley Girls Film Festival

The Noe Valley Girls Film Festival (NVGFF) is an annual festival that showcases films made by young girls from all around the world. The NVGFF was founded in 2016 in San Francisco, California, by four middle school girls who love to make movies. The festival's mission is to encourage young girls to make movies with the goal of creating a new generation of female filmmakers. Girls ages 15 and under can submit their films to be judged, and the top films in each age group (ages 11-15 and ages 10 and under) are screened at the festival and cash prizes are awarded to the winners. Each year there is a featured speaker, always a female in the film industry.

MISSION & OBJECTIVE

The Noe Valley Girls Film Festival’s ("NVGFF") mission is to encourage young girls to make movies with goals of creating a new generation of movie makers, promoting Noe Valley, and having fun. With today’s technology, anyone can learn to make a movie.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

NVGFF is seeking short film submissions made by girls anywhere in the world in two age groups (ages 11-15 and age 10 and under). Submissions are due by August 20, 2020, and the finalists are expected to be announced in late-August, 2020. The festival will be held at 4:00 pm on September 12, 2020. At the festival, we expect to present the top submissions, have a well known local filmmaker present awards to the winners, and to have a raffle.

ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

In early 2016, a group of girls living in Noe Valley decided to form NVGFF. They loved making movies and wanted to give an opportunity to other young girls to make and present their movies to a real live audience. The girls started creating films in elementary school and have collectively made almost fifty movies. They enjoyed film making so much that they decided to start a festival for all of the girls of Noe Valley. They have been meeting every week and believe the film festival will be a great way to bring the people of Noe Valley together to watch films, and try to help girls feel empowered to be involved in film making.
