Travel across time and place with 64 features and documentaries: from Opening Night film The Interpreter, bold satire “I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History As Barbarians”, sprawling French biopic Promise at Dawn, retrospective features The City Without Jews and An Ancient Law, Closing Night film The Unorthodox, and many, many more.

 

 

The Jewish Film Festival is proud of our diverse, challenging, thought-provoking and (we hope) wildly entertaining program of carefully curated films and events. We encourage you to dive deep into the program — gather your friends and family, and settle in with your highlighters and sticky notes this long weekend to plan your 2018 festival immersion.
