Founded in 2000 by Brooklyn Friends School, the Bridge Film Festival is an annual celebration of Quaker ideals in action. Presenting value-based filmmaking by Friends school students, grades 5-12, the festival is available online for classrooms worldwide.  The Bridge Film Festival broadens dialogue on topics such as integrity, equality, non-violence, and social justice.  Genres include animation, documentaries, narratives, music videos, digital slideshows and public service announcements.

The Bridge Film Festival in association with the Friends Council on Education is proud to announce “bridging,” a service learning opportunity. As a natural extension of our film festival, bridging encourages students to take action by coordinating "Screening Events" to raise funds for one annually targeted charity.  Bridging demonstrates the power of collective action through our network of Friends schools and institutions while extending the impact of our student filmmaker’s messages of concern.
