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.
