Cinema is a unique opportunity to immerse oneself intellectually and emotionally in the world of Jewish culture without seemingly devoting too much time to it. Cinema as a tool in the twenty-first century is still one of the main forms of dialogue between author and audience, author and author, and most importantly, the public among themselves. Cinema is invariably popular and attracts a large audience, which is why Jewish film festivals are an important platform for the exchange of experiences and ideas between people of different nations and religions and are essential in drawing attention to issues of peace and tolerance.

The Jewish Film Festival is a set of film screenings and events celebrating Jewish culture, tradition, history and community.

The first festival showcasing professional Jewish cinema was created over 30 years ago, and since then Jewish film festivals have been held annually all over the world, from Berlin and London to New York and Toronto.
