New York Jewish Film Festival 2025

December 14, 2024

From: New York Jewish Film Festival

This January, the Jewish Museum and Film at Lincoln Center collaborate once again for the annual New York Jewish Film Festival (NYJFF), spotlighting the finest documentary, narrative, and short films from around the world that explore the Jewish experience. Among the oldest and most influential Jewish film festivals worldwide, NYJFF will feature in-person screenings for its 34th edition at Film at Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theater.

The NYJFF lineup showcases nearly two dozen features, documentaries, and shorts (eight narrative features, 11 documentary features, one miniseries and two short films), including the latest works by dynamic voices in international cinema. Also featured are two historic films including: the 50th anniversary screening of the beloved, recently restored 1975 period drama, Hester Street, directed by Joan Micklin Silver, which brilliantly recreates Jewish immigrant life on New York’s Lower East Side at the turn of the century, and features Carol Kane in an Oscar-nominated performance; and Breaking Home Ties, a 1922 classic silent melodrama, once believed lost, which has been digitally restored by the National Center for Jewish Film, and is now presented with a newly recorded score performed by Grammy Award-winning musicians.
