The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, in its 25th year, presents an impressive program focused on both LGBTQ+ themes and diverse Jewish experiences. Featuring 50 films—including documentaries and narratives—the festival aims to foster understanding and connection among audiences from various backgrounds. This year's selection highlights intersectionality, women's empowerment, and global conflicts, inviting viewers to engage with compelling stories that resonate on multiple levels. Executive director Kenny Blank emphasizes the festival's commitment to inclusivity, aiming to reflect shared humanity and the evolving meaning of Jewish identity in contemporary cinema.
Highlighting themes such as LGBTQIA+ stories, women's empowerment, global conflicts, and intersectionality, the festival explores the global Jewish experience and its connections to the world's diverse communities, welcoming audiences from all backgrounds without a political or religious advocacy agenda.
This year's lineup not only highlights stories that resonate deeply with Jewish life but also redefines what it means to be a 'Jewish' film. It's about the intersection of Jewish experiences with the broader world, creating space for meaningful dialogue and connection between communities.
