About the Festival19th Annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival Again Sponsored By The Mizel Family Foundation The San Diego Jewish Film Festival (SDJFF) is part of the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture (SDCJC), at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, JACOBS FAMILY CAMPUS in La Jolla, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Since its inception in 1990, the San Diego Jewish Film Festival has become one of the largest and most prestigious festivals of its kind in the country, and is one of the highest attended cultural events in San Diego. Attracting over 20,000 ticket holders, the SDJFF presents approximately 40 short-subject, documentary and feature films, an international roster of guest artists, special Underwriter events and theme programs for all ages. The SDJFF aims to educate and illuminate audiences by offering an array of films that depict elements of the Jewish life, history, and culture in challenging, moving, and humorous ways as never seen before. The 11-day festival is an accomplished showcase including guest actors, filmmakers, and scholars who introduce their work, participate in audience discussions, as well as meet and greet events with the patrons. These guest artists are the heart and soul of the festival. Theme programs include: the Joyce Forum: A Focus on Emerging Filmmakers, Teen Screen, Kid‘s Matinee, The Lipinsky Family Student Day, FlixMix, and the Audience Choice Awards. The SDJFF is held at five venues around San Diego County, including the AMC La Jolla 12 Theatres, the UltraStar Mission Valley Cinemas at Hazard Center and UltraStar Poway Creekside Plaza 10, the David & Dorothea Garfield Theatre at the Lawrence Family JCC, and on the campus of San Diego State University at the Not Quite Kosher Film Festival. This year's festival promises to meet the demands of our growing audience to better the movie-going experience, while continuing to deliver the most contemporary Jewish films from around the world.
