Who runs the Our City Film Festival?
Yachad: the Jewish non-profit for affordable housing.
Yachad's mission is to maintain Washingotn, D.C.'s communities and neighborhoods by repairing
lower-income homeowner's housing and working with minority churches to rejuvinate city blocks
for the communities that have been in the area for generations. By mobilizing Washington, D.C.'s
Jewish and otherwise contracting community as well as volunteers, Yachad repairs close to 50
homes through Greater Washington every year. Check out how you can roll up your sleeves,
pick up a paint brush and help Washington stay a city for all people-regardless of how much they
have in the bank. Click here!

Who attends the festival?
For the 2008, 2009 and 2010 festivals we sold out, so the short answer is...a lot of people! Ranging in all demographics and attracting people from every DC neighborhood,
hundreds of Washingtonians came together to watch films about their city. All are welcome, but parents are encouraged
to research the film's appropriateness before bringing children.
Who judges the films?
Judges for the films are all media professionals or D.C. "celebs".
Who sponsors the film festival?
It could be you! We offer fantastic advertising opportunities to our sponsors. If you are interested in
teaming up with Yachad for 20101s event, please contact us as soon as possible.
