Thank you, our supporters, for making the 28th Annual East Bay International Jewish Film Festival a success. We enjoyed going back to the theaters in Century 16 in Pleasant Hill and Vine Cinema in Livermore. We also continued streaming our films virtually for those who could not attend in-person and preferred the comfort and safety of their homes. While our 2023 Hybrid Festival is now over, our IJWC Year-Round programming will continue to include inspiring and educational films and speaker events.  

As in previous years, you will also find, on our website, the recordings of EBIJFF speakers. We thank our speakers for sharing their knowledge, expertise, experience, and emotions with us, and we invite you to watch these programs here even if you may have missed the films they were related to during the Festival.

 

Your generosity ensures that our Film Festival remains vital in the region's cultural landscape. Our Year-Round events continue to provide in-depth knowledge about the vibrancy of the Jewish people, their history and society. If you like to find out how you can support our Festival, please email director@eastbayjewishfilm.org and consider donating here

 

With gratitude!
