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
Thank you so much Charlotte Kane, Maggie Marks, Caitlin Kane, and Ella Marks!
NVGFF is seeking short film submissions made by young girls anywhere in the world! The age groups include an older category (11-16) and a younger one (10 and under). Submissions are due by August 20, 2025, and the finalists are expected to be announced in late-August. The festival will be held at 4:00 on September 6, 2025. At the festival, we will screen the finalists’ films, hear about producing and the world of moviemaking from the amazing Mary Alice Drumm, and announce our winners!
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 filmmaking so much that they decided to start a festival for all Noe Valley girls. They 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 filmmaking.
