WELCOME TO THE TAMPA BAY JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL

The Tampa Bay Jewish Film Festival (TBJFF) is dedicated to using film for its contemporary and popular value to celebrate Jewish culture and reflect the diversity and richness of the Jewish experience. The festival seeks to use the power of film to entertain, educate and challenge conventional perspectives on complex issues facing the Jewish people and global community alike.

The TBJFF is a celebration of the finest international films that focus on Jewish themes and is one of the most inclusive and pluralistic Jewish events in the greater Tampa Bay area. The festival delivers an extraordinary collection of gripping dramas, thought-provoking documentaries, eclectic shorts and offbeat comedies depicting Jewish life from different times and places and appealing to everyone from the most discerning film critics to family audiences. Selected screenings are enhanced by providing a dynamic forum for audience dialogue with distinguished actors, producers, writers and other expert panelists.

The TBJFF is now accepting entries for its 14th annual festival to be held the week of March 1st through March 15, 2010. For submission, please click here to view submission information.

The Tampa Bay Jewish Film Festival is produced by the Tampa Jewish Community Center, the Golda Meir/Kent Jewish Center and the Pinellas County Jewish Community Center. We hope you will find our web site informative and interactive. See you at the movies!
