Film festivals dedicated to Jewish culture exist in many big cities of the world, from Hong Kong to Tucson. In 2015 Moscow joined the ranks of those cities and became home to the 1st Moscow Jewish Film Festival.

Moscow Jewish Film Festival was established with one simple, but very important goal: to give Moscow audiences an opportunity to meet and explore the world of Jewish professional cinematography. The Festival aims to choose, collect and show the best Russian and foreign films of the latest years dedicated to the Jewish culture, and to present them as part of a single program.

Moscow Jewish Film Festival looks to films for establishing a connection between people based on respect for Jewish culture and love for cinema. We believe, that by showing new, thoughtful works, we will be able to attract attention of Moscow viewers to the global conversation of Jewish communities.
