38th Annual Boston Jewish Film Festival

JCC Greater Boston is proud to present the 38th Annual Boston Jewish Film Festival, taking place November 4–15, 2026, with a special kickoff screening on November 1.

This year’s Festival marks an exciting milestone as the first since Boston Jewish Film became part of JCC Greater Boston in January 2026. With its new home in Newton, the Festival continues its 38-year tradition of bringing compelling Jewish stories, international cinema, and engaging cultural experiences to audiences throughout Greater Boston.

The Festival features a diverse lineup of films, filmmaker conversations, and special events at venues throughout the region, including the JCC and West Newton Cinema.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate the Boston Jewish Film Festival’s 38-year legacy while beginning this exciting new chapter at JCC Greater Boston,” said Blair Lesser Sullivan, Director of Arts & Ideas. “With screenings at the JCC, West Newton Cinema, and venues across Greater Boston, the Festival continues to bring people together through powerful storytelling and shared experiences.”

The Festival is part of JCC Greater Boston’s expanding Arts & Ideas programming, which includes adult classes, performances, author events, and thought-provoking conversations.
