For twenty years, the Buffalo International Jewish Film Festival has
presented the local community with the best in Jewish content films. The continuity and high quality of the Film Festival is the result of many generous donors and numerous volunteers working to make the program a success. Entering our third decade, we reflect with satisfaction and pride on our accomplishments and thank our supporters and ticket buyers.

The overall quality of this year’s films is the best ever. The list of
awards given to the films and their directors is truly impressive.
Whether originating from the Czech Republic, Italy, France, Belgium, the U.S., or Israel, the films are characterized not only by perceptions of Judaism but also by universal themes of self-discovery, tragedy, friendship, courage, and love. Moreover, you will be delighted and enthralled by the many engaging characters you will meet on the screen.

The films are imaginative, dramatic, and touching. A dyslexic Israeli
boy comes of age. Brothers survive the Holocaust due to a Polish peasant. Swim club members return to Vienna after 65 years. Three generations of Belgian Jews struggle to define themselves. An amnesiac elderly man inspires an Italian housewife. From such plot lines do marvelous films develop.

Documentaries hold a conspicuous place in the film schedule. They
will take you on unusual journeys into hidden corners of Jewish life and culture.

Come participate in the cinematic event of the summer!
