New York Jewish Film Festival 2004
Join us for 13 great days of illumination and inspiration at the 2004 New York Jewish Film Festival.
This year’s selections offer a pluralistic vision of modern Jewish identity as they speak to our ongoing need to investigate, record and, above all, celebrate the Jewish experience. Films like Black Israel testify to a culture of diversity and inclusion. Others, like Shalom Ireland, reveal a people existing as part of, rather than apart from, the global community. Works by Argentineans, Swedes and Lower East Siders – from documentary to historical drama to lighthearted romantic satire – make up an eclectic cross-section of contemporary Jewish filmmaking.
Organized by: Rachel Chanoff, Chair, Film Festival Selection Committee; Stuart Klawans, film critic, The Nation; Richard Peña, Program Director, The Film Society of Lincoln Center; Mohini Sara Shapero, Film Festival Coordinator; and Aviva Weintraub, Director of Media and Public Programs, The Jewish Museum.
This international festival is made possible by generous support from The Martin and Doris Payson Charitable Foundation, The Liman Foundation, The Jack and Pearl Resnick Foundation, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Mimi and Barry Alperin, The Israel Office of Cultural Affairs in the USA, Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany, Helen Bodian and Roger Alcaly, and other funders.
