Established in 2003, the festival has 23 years of experience in sourcing the best international films with Jewish-related content (fiction, documentaries, and short films). Impactful films, which promote Jewish culture and diversity, explore Jewish history as well as contemporary life of Jewish communities from around the globe.

Our goal is to give Jewish and non-Jewish moviegoers the opportunity to get acquainted with different perspectives of Jewish issue reflected on the screen and encourage dialogue and social change. Since the first edition in 2003, we showed our audience more than 1000 movies from more than 30 countries!

WJFF loves to promote filmmakers working with Jewish themes. Our festival has an international competition with THE CAMERA OF DAVID AWARDS. Our team selected and awarded dozens of movies which later won OSCARS & awards at the biggest world-famous festivals!
