JIFF comes to Belgrave

This year, the Jewish International Film Festival has added a brand new location: Cameo Cinemas, Belgrave!

From 10-21 November, the Festival will bring Jewish cinematic gems of a whole new calibre to the local community.

From star-studded stories Love, Gilda and Studio 54, to emotional war drama Sobibor and marvellous musical mayhem in Redemption and Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas, the Jewish International Film Festival comes to the Belgrave Cameo for a year of spectacular Jewish cinema.

With over 60 films from 23 countries, the Festival builds on a 29 year long history of bringing the best of Jewish cinema to Australia, presenting 31 features and 28 documentaries to audiences in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra.

The Festival will also screen films by the 2018 recipients of the JIFF Short Film Fund, The Birth of Hunter Finkelstein and Thank G-d.

Jewish International Film Festival Artistic Director, Eddie Tamir said he was delighted that the festival will come to the Cameo for the first time.

“I am delighted to present our vibrant 2018 program.”

“This year’s Festival will celebrate the rich tapestry of Jewish culture, from powerful stories championing wonderfully Jewish perspectives, to a collaboration with significant Jewish and arts organisations across Australia and lively events including a Börek Bake-Off,” said Jewish International Film Festival Artistic Director, Eddie Tamir.
