Festival program

Of course, the program will be designed with respect for UAE culture as well as local traditions.

Every year hundreds of films on Jewish themes are made all over the world. These are films from different countries — the USA, Canada, Brazil, Great Britain, Israel, Turkey, France, Belgium and many others. Among these pictures there are Hollywood films of international level and independent authorial and experimental masterpieces.

We also suggest organizing an annual retrospective of the best Jewish films, including «Schindler’s List» (directed by Steven Spielberg), «Life is Beautiful» (directed by Roberto Benigni), «Inglourious Basterds» (directed by Quentin Tarantino), «A Tale of Love and Darkness» (directed by Natalie Portman) and others. And also be sure to invite their creators to Dubai.

Every year the Dubai Jewish Film Festival will bring together at least 50 films from around the world, the vast majority of which will be screened on the big screens for the first time in the UAE.
