New York Jewish Film Festival 2023
The Jewish Museum and Film at Lincoln Center are pleased to continue their collaboration to present the 32nd annual New York Jewish Film Festival, presenting 29 wide-ranging and exciting features and shorts, including the latest works by dynamic voices in international cinema.
Among the oldest and most influential Jewish film festivals worldwide, the New York Jewish Film Festival presents the finest documentary, narrative, and short films from around the world that explore the Jewish experience. The 2023 edition features in-person screenings at the Walter Reade Theater and two virtual offerings. Highlights include America, by Ofir Raul Grazier (The Cakemaker), which tells a visually sumptuous story about sexual identity and personal trauma. Receiving its world premiere at the NYJFF, Charlotte Salomon: Life and the Maiden, by Delphine Coulin and Muriel Coulin, offers an intimate and expansive look at the artist who completed some 1,300 paintings before her death at Auschwitz at age 26. In Alegria, filmmaker Violeta Salama makes her moving and wise feature debut in this layered, comic-tinged drama about women breaking free from patriarchal tradition in a contemporary Jewish diasporic community in Melilla, a Spanish city on Africa’s north coast.
Starting December 15, visit NYJFF.org for the full 2023 NYJFF screening schedule and tickets.
