San Francisco Jewish Film Festival 40th Anniversary Hanukkah Celebration

Saturday, December 12th
6:00pm - 7:00pm PST
Online Event

Join the Jewish Film Institute for a special celebration of 40 years of presenting Jewish films! Let’s move forward together and toast to the future of Jewish storytelling at the Jewish Film Institute.

Partake in the ritual opening night trailer cavalcade (a collection of some of our favorite SFJFF trailers from years past), hear from our founders Deborah Kaufman and Janis Plotkin, surprise guests and enjoy a VIP sneak preview of exciting new films to come.

All proceeds for this event will support and strengthen JFI’s vital work in building community through film, media and dialogue, and will assist filmmakers and artists working with Jewish themes and uplifting independent voices. Thanks to supporters like you, JFI is a recognized standard-bearer and presenter of Jewish film with the world's first and largest Jewish Film Festival.

In honor of your support over the last 40 years we have made tickets complimentary and accessible for all to attend. If you are able, please consider making a special gift in honor of our 40th Anniversary.
