JUMP Society at the City Museum
Congratulations to all of our Jump Society filmmakers who are being featured in the screening room at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum!
The JUMP Society has brought approximately 250 locally made short films to the screen since 2002 and the Juneau-Douglas City Museum will be sharing the collection throughout this winter.
The museum has a cozy viewing room for the films and this month features our very first festival from the summer of 2002. Each month a different collection of films will be on display along with the old posters and a giant list of all our films and filmmakers. Enjoy!

Our next festival is in January, I hope you’ll make something cool!
