March 24 - April 10 | Hybrid Festival Presents 18 Films in 18 Days | TICKETS ON SALE NOW!

The Seattle Jewish Film Festival features 18 film programs from around the world, including Portugal, Israel, Switzerland, Belarus, France, Italy, Germany, and more. This year's hybrid festival includes multiple opportunities to safely watch films together in a theatre and connect with special guests in attendance, catered special events and toasts, and culinary delights from local small businesses. Half of the films will screen in person. All (except THE ANCIENT LAW at Paramount Theatre) will also be available to screen virtually, giving audiences opportunities and avenues to engage and reconnect in theaters or with those at home. In-person screenings take place at AMC Pacific Place, the Stroum Jewish Community Center, and University of Washington. Virtual films are available to screen from Monday, March 28 until Sunday, April 10, with a 48-hour viewing window once the film is started.

"Creating our first hybrid film festival this year was a community-building and –connecting decision to get folks back in theater seats, back seeing their identities, culture, global connections, and history represented onscreen and encouraging them with special events, guests, and experiences to get back on the scene, back to seeing each other," says Pamela Lavitt SJCC Arts + Ideas and Festivals Director. "We have programmed this year's Festival to offer people the best of both worlds: a celebration of global Jewish and Israeli cinema they crave on both the big and small screen while ensuring flexibility and comfort for everyone."
