2025 Film Festival
Thank You for an Incredible 12th Annual Festival!
We’re filled with gratitude for the sponsors, hundreds of attendees, and the community who came together to make the 12th Annual JCC Chicago Jewish Film Festival unforgettable.
About the JCC Chicago Jewish Film Festival
Our film festival is more than just movies; it’s an experience. We carefully curate Jewishly inspired, culturally diverse films that entertain, educate, and inspire audiences across all generations. From honoring Jewish filmmakers and actors to spotlighting those who creatively tackle important global issues, our festival embodies artistry with a mission.
What makes our festival special:
- Exclusive Premieres: Many of our films are Chicago debuts.
- Engaging Discussions: Select screenings include Q&A sessions with filmmakers, actors, and experts to deepen your connection to the stories you see.
- Community Connection: Join fellow film enthusiasts to celebrate storytelling that sparks dialogue and inspires change.
We’re also proud to host ReelAbilities Chicago, a festival that amplifies the voices of disabled individuals in film as role models, artists, and filmmakers. This festival puts the spotlight on disabled individuals as protagonists, role models, artists and producers, all on the big screen. 6 Films will be screened from March 20-30. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required.
