The Miami Jewish Film Festival Offers Something for Everyone

Calling all movie lovers! The 23rd annual Miami Jewish Film Festival (MJFF), one of the largest Jewish film festivals in the world, will take place from January 9-23. The festival will screen 107 films from 25 countries and host more than 50 filmmakers and special guests at 14 different venues across Miami. From the opening night premiere of the tenderhearted story of two Holocaust Survivors in South Florida who form a klezmer band in Saul & Ruby, To Life!, to a slapstick take on national intelligence in Mossad, to a poignant story of friendship and regrets starring Billy Crystal in Standing Up, Falling Down, there is something for everyone. For the first time in its 23-year history, MJFF will also present a spotlight on Ibero-American cinema featuring six unique films from Argentina, Spain and Brazil. MJFF is a program of the Center for the Advancement of Jewish Education, a subsidiary agency of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. For more information about the Festival, click here.
