Washington Jewish Film Festival

Mission Statement

One of the largest and most respected Jewish film festivals in North America, the Washington Jewish Film Festival (WJFF) is an international exhibition of cinema that celebrates the diversity of Jewish history, culture and experience through the moving image. In addition to the annual festival, the WJFF presents an ongoing, year-round film series, in our home venue at the DCJCC.

The WJFF annually serves over 15,000 people through 80+ screenings, nearly all of which are regional, US or world premieres.

Most screenings are followed by discussions with guest filmmakers and subject matter experts.

The 2014 Festival will light up screens throughout the DC metropolitan area from February 27-March 9, 2014.
