Chester County’s annual festival celebrates the richness, complexity and diversity of Jewish experiences as presented through film and is dedicated to screening Jewish short films and videos in all genres. Every short film is intended to engage, educate, and inspire the community as we explore the full spectrum of Jewish life, values, and culture. This year, all film narratives have a central Israeli connection in celebration of Israel’s 75th anniversary.
This event has been generousely sponsored by Jon Liss and is in partnership with the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s Chester County Kehillah, ISRAEL21c, Reads & Company, and 70 Faces Media.
