WELCOME !

41ST ANNUAL PHILADELPHIA JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL NOVEMBER 7 - 20, 2021

While cinema remains the organization's focus and legacy, Philadelphia Jewish Film and Media (PJFM) believes it is important to highlight new and innovative ways Jewish stories are being created and shared today.

As presenter of the Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival, PJFM will continue to bring Philadelphia film lovers the best in Jewish international cinema through its signature program: its two-week November Fall Fest. Back for its 41st annual season, the Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival: Fall Fest will take place both in theaters and venues throughout Philadelphia and stream on-demand in your living room.

Keeping you safe throughout your festival experience is PJFM's top priority.

As such, all of the festival's in-person offerings will be made available virtually on-demand, should CDC guidelines require that either the organization or a participating venue cancel a scheduled program. Keeping in mind that everyone's level of comfort with public gatherings will vary, PJFM has strived to create a first-class festival with flexibility and freedom of choice in mind. With that said, every venue has its own set of safety protocols and vaccination requirements that patrons must abide by.

For more information, visit PhillyJFM.org.

THE MISSION OF PHILADELPHIA JEWISH FILM AND MEDIA (PJFM) IS TO CREATE CONNECTION AND COMMUNITY THROUGH JEWISH CINEMA AND DIGITAL STORYTELLING.
