Historythe roots of the ninth street independent film center go back to 1983, when film arts foundation, the bay area's leading membership organization of independent filmmakers, and naata, an organization dedicated to asian pacific american media, first moved into a small portion of a building at 346 ninth street (two blocks from the current location). frameline, which has long been at the forefront of lgbt media, followed in 1991, and the san francisco jewish film festival, the first and largest festival of its kind, came aboard in 1995. these achievements set the stage for a bigger decision: to form a partnership that would enable a transition from renting to owning our workplace. we embarked upon an extensive planning phase with clear goals: to obtain secure, affordable space and to insure our long-term stability as a consortium. the result is our new home at 145 ninth street.
