Boston Jewish Film
A year-round film, culture, and community program with a new home at JCC Greater Boston.
Celebrating the Jewish Experience through Film and Media
Film has the power to foster empathy, spark conversation, and connect communities. Through its thoughtful programming, Boston Jewish Film expands cultural understanding and builds bridges across diverse perspectives, aligning with JCC Greater Boston’s mission to nurture connection, enrich lives, and strengthen community bonds.
Over the course of the year, BJF engages and inspires audiences to explore the full spectrum of Jewish life, values, history, and culture through the powerful medium of cinema.
