see you at the movies
For thousands of years, Jewish communities have shared wisdom, values, and experiences. Each fall, the JCC presents the Milwaukee Jewish Film Festival with in-person screenings at the Marcus North Shore Cinema and streaming options available for at home viewing.
Program Benefits
Our dedicated Film Festival committee works for many months viewing and discussing potential films. The committee then curates a diverse festival that showcases Jewish stories from across the globe, balancing time periods, locations, and topics. The committee only selects films that are not yet available via streaming in the United States.
Our committee selects stories from throughout the world – Israeli stories, European stories, American stories, and all around the globe.
All films are presented with English captioning if English is not the primary language spoken in the dialogue.
While most of our festival-goers enjoy attending our in-person screenings at the Marcus North Shore Cinema, which provide an opportunity to engage with this content as a community, we also appreciate that most of our distributors are continuing to allow us to offer streaming options for those who need, or who prefer to watch the films at home.
a community effort
The Milwaukee Jewish Film Festival is an important component of Tapestry: Arts & Ideas from the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center and is made possible by Marcus Theatre Department of the Marcus Corporation, the Shel and Danni Gendelman Endowment Fund, and the Sylvia and Robert Seinfeld Jewish Film Festival Endowment Fund.
