This year marks the 28th year of PJFF, the second longest running Jewish Film Festival in the United States. Our upcoming season includes a diverse and compelling line-up of independent films from across the globe, essentially a festival of festivals! From Celebrating Sixty Years of Israeli Cinema to a weekend of Jewish sports films – there is something special for everyone.

While selecting the films we asked ourselves, “What is a Jewish Film?” and “How do we define Jewish identity and values?” We invite you to join us and formulate your own answers to these questions.

"With a world in turmoil and a whole set of new adversaries that challenge our existence, it is more important than ever that we become informed about our cultural identity and historic roots as Jews. What better place to learn our special odyssey over centuries than through our Jewish stories!"
