The Winnipeg International Jewish Film Festival
Bringing Art and Community Together.
Each year, we are excited to present a program of fantastic Canadian and international films including several premiere screenings. The films we have chosen encompass the joy, pain, humour, richness, and creativity of the Jewish experience.
The Winnipeg International Jewish Film Festival is presented through the Asper Cultural Enrichment Initiative.
Storytelling is at the heart of Jewish culture.
And, like you, we are passionate about the power of film to inspire, educate, entertain, spark conversations and build bridges within and outside of the Jewish community. We know that you’ll enjoy watching these exceptional films – dramas, comedies, docs, and musicals – together on the large screen.
Full Schedule Available on April 1
Film as Community
It is a high point each year as we bring the community together to experience the joy of cinema on the big screen. And, because it’s at the Rady JCC you can also expect some great pre-and post-film events as well.
Film is more than just entertainment.
The Winnipeg International Jewish Film Festival strives to share Jewish culture and humanity through a diverse selection of narratives, comedies, dramas, and documentaries.
Exclusive Screening Opportunities
Over the years, we’ve presented films that explore the Jewish experience in countries all over the world, from Sweden to South Africa. These are often deeply personal stories, informed by the writers and directors’ own lives.
The Winnipeg International Jewish Film Festival lets the community experience these films in the best possible way: in a darkened theatre, on a large screen, in the company of others.
