The 5th Annual Noe Valley Girls Film Festival
Full Synopsis
The Experience For You
NVGFF-Gone virtual!!!
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.

i think we can
Directed by Ella Warner (Southern California)
I Think We Can is a film about the earth right now and how terrible it will get in the future if we don't act now.
Director StatementI believe we have film to send out a powerful message to people. I make films to send the message. I want people to finish my film with emotion, and a thought that can help the world. I am an animal advocate, and went to a school with inclusion called CHIME, where special needs kids work in the same classroom.

Director StatementThis film is the result of 'Lockdown SiIRI boredom' in April 2020. I wondered whether I could add imaginary characters to the computerised SIRI voices - THINK Edwardian (1930) Britain dystopia. The cast are local neighbours who were really happy to help and all filmed with social distancing measures in place. I had to do something in April 2020 - this was it.
