Festival Description:

This festival screens Features, Shorts and Documentaries that respond to Jewish issues worldwide and invites many films which would not otherwise be shown in the UK. The festival programs a slate of films that create a dialogue of concern for Jewish issues worldwide, promote a positive image of Jewish culture and that explore the diversity of Jewish life and identity. Although there are no juried awards, there is an Audience Choice Award.

The festival goes on tour throughout the UK during the year.
