UK Jewish Film Festival

The UK Jewish Film Festival, run by the charity UK Jewish Film since 1997, is one of the largest Jewish film festivals in the world and a BAFTA-qualifying festival for short films. Each November it brings features, documentaries and shorts from across the globe exploring Jewish life, history and identity — from Holocaust memory and Israeli cinema to comedy, music and family drama.

The festival opens in London, spread across cinemas throughout the city — regularly including the Phoenix Cinema and JW3 — before touring Manchester and the rest of the UK and running online. Its programme mixes galas, UK premieres and filmmaker Q&As with premieres from its own short film funds.
