The 2022 Annual Festival is finally here, and with 50+ films from 18 countries, it may well be our best lineup ever.

Nora Ephron Appreciation Society

July 23, 2021 19:33 - 45 minutes - 21.2 MB

Nora Ephron was a trailblazing female filmmaker, especially when it came to romantic comedies, with directorial efforts like Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail. Even more prolific as a screenwriter, she penned those two films plus a dozen others, including the iconic When Harry Met Sally, the classic Jewish rom com that transcended stereotypes about the genre. Yet her name does not necessarily come up as often as male writer-directors. Sara and Brad are here to help correct that, divin...

In Search of the Jewish Blockbuster

June 17, 2021 20:12 - 51 minutes - 24.1 MB

Summer movie season is officially here, with big studio tentpoles finally hitting theaters – and many moviegoers finally willing to enter the hallowed ground of their local cineplex. Action franchises and family-friendly adventures do not typically boast Jewish themes, of course, which made us wonder whether there are, in fact, any Jewish blockbusters? What would that even look like? Perhaps a film from the blockbusters arguable inventor, Steven Spielberg? Perhaps starring the Jewish meme-st...

May 27, 2021 18:16 - 28 minutes - 13.4 MB

AJFF's Selects series is more of what you love about the annual festival, and this past month, with our first Selects program of the season, our audience got to see Stand! in our Virtual Cinema: a stirring cross-cultural musical, in which a young immigrant couple finds romance on the streets of 1919 Winnipeg, as they battle for a better life amidst violent social upheaval.

Q&As at AJFF: Kiss Me Kosher

February 24, 2021 15:08 - 1 hour - 31.1 MB

One of the biggest silver linings of a hybrid edition of the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival is the ability to bring film talent together from all around the world in an even more robust way than in a typical year. There is perhaps no better example of that than our opening night.

Festival of Lights on Film

December 16, 2020 19:54 - 58 minutes - 27.3 MB

Let’s face it: if you’re looking for a great Hanukkah movie to celebrate with this winter, you’re likely to be left out in the cold. While Christmas movies are a genre of their own, it’s hard to credibly name one Hollywood offering that could be called a Hanukkah classic. Could it be that the only "true" Hanukkah movies in existence are Adam Sandler’s animated comedy Eight Crazy Nights and lesser known cult classic The Hebrew Hammer? And, do these films actually capture how the holiday’s tru...

What About Shorts?

December 10, 2020 13:41 - 45 minutes - 21 MB

For most audiences, a night out at the movies means a full course meal.

The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival has long proudly given a platform to shorts, a subgenre every bit as powerful, compelling and innovative as any feature-length film. With another banner year of short films on tap for our 21st annual festival in February, it’s time to stop giving sh...
