For more than a quarter of a century, the Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival (GPJFF) has celebrated Jewish culture through film, bringing an exciting lineup of films to Arizona. From February 10 through February 27, the 26th Annual Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival will screen films showcasing the best of Jewish life, history, and heritage. Due to ongoing health and safety concerns, the film festival will once again be held virtually.
Currently the longest-running film festival in the Valley, the Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival celebrates its 26th year by presenting more great films that make the festival even bigger and better – almost 3,400 minutes of Jewish cinema from dozens of different countries! Patrons can enjoy this popular annual event with over 30 feature-length and short films ranging from defiance and revenge to fun and adventure, laughter and love, with something for everyone and stories that engage both mind and heart. Via just about any device, computer or smart TV, the audience can travel from the beaches and shuks of Israel to the back lots and sound stages of Hollywood; from a tropical farm in Brazil to the witness stand of the United States Supreme Court; from the limestone hills of the island of Majorca to multiple villages and towns of wartime Europe.
Using innovative technology, the virtual festival allows participants to easily build a flexible customized plan to see every film. Post-film interviews with filmmakers and experts on a film’s subjects will be held seamlessly after many screenings.
