Jacob Burns Film Center Launches New Initiative JBFC Kids

The Jacob Burns Film Center (JBFC) announced the launch of JBFC Kids, an exciting new initiative to welcome a new generation of film lovers into the JBFC community. JBFC Kids is designed to help foster a love for cinema and media-making in children ages three to thirteen, via three different approaches: films, free hands-on activities, and courses for kids and their families. Westchester Library System will participate as the community partner for JBFC Kids.

JBFC Executive Director Edie Demas said, “While kids and the Jacob Burns are far from a new concept, what is new is a deeper and more comprehensive commitment across our film and education departments to providing kids and their parents with wide-ranging opportunities to share the powerful medium of film as both viewers and makers. As a parent, I’m looking forward to JBFC Kids and the opportunity it will give my family to experience a wide range of stories and storytelling activities as a way of slowing down together, building memories, and connecting through the Burns’ unique film curation and unparalleled media education expertise.”
