Every year, for 11 days in December, the WASHINGTON JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL brings together over 7,000 people to watch new and award-winning films that explore the great diversity of the Jewish experience. These films from around the world bring to life stories, issues and ideas that open our minds and change our perspectives. The WJFF, started in 1990, is now one of the largest and most respected Jewish film festivals in North America.  The Festival is dedicated to creating dialogues between audiences and filmmakers, actors, scholars and journalists – encounters that enrich and deepen the movie-going experience. WJFF screenings are held in cooperation with many embassies and other organizations at the Washington DCJCC and venues throughout the DC-metro area.

THE SCREENING ROOM is the year-round repertory arm of the Washington Jewish Film Festival exhibiting entertaining and thought-provoking features, documentaries and shorts from around the world every month at the Aaron & Cecile Goldman Theater. Most screenings are accompanied by interesting speakers including filmmakers and scholars, stimulating discussions or dynamic live performances.
