Join us to see things from another perspective.

“Israeli cinema is alive because it is not afraid to ask difficult questions.” — Avi Nesher.

This is exactly why we do what we do. Cinema shouldn’t just entertain, it should provoke thought, challenge perspectives, and spark meaningful conversations.

We are proud to bring these bold, unfiltered stories straight from Israel to our community here in Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey. Stay connected with us as we keep the momentum going toward Season 31!

“הקולנוע הישראלי חי משום שהוא אינו מפחד לשאול שאלות קשות.” — אבי נשר.

זה בדיוק הלב של הפסטיבל שלנו. קולנוע לא נועד רק לבדר. הוא נועד לאתגר, לעורר מחשבה ולייצר שיח אמיתי.

אנחנו גאים להמשיך ולהביא את היצירות האמיצות האלה ישירות מישראל אליכם, הקהילה שלנו בפילדלפיה רבתי ודרום ניו ג’רזי. תמשיכו לעקוב אחרינו כדי לשמור על המומנטום בדרך לעונה ה-31!

Preserving the past, protecting the future.

For the 7th year, students from Kellman Brown Academy and Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy have taken on a sacred mission: ensuring the stories of Holocaust survivors are never forgotten.

Through the “Names, Not Numbers” project, these young filmmakers are making sure that history isn’t just a page in a book—it’s a living voice. Join us for this moving community screening and support the next generation as they become the keepers of our history.

🗓️ Thursday, April 30 | 7 PM
📍 Temple Beth Sholom, Cherry Hill, NJ
🎟️ Free admission (Registration required)

To all our Sponsors, members, supporters and audience,

Passover is the ultimate festival of storytelling - a time when we gather to pass our history from one generation to the next.
At the Israeli Film Festival of Philadelphia, we believe in that same power of story to connect, inspire, and liberate.

As we celebrate our 30th anniversary season, we wish our entire community a Chag Pesach Sameach.
May your holiday be filled with the warmth of family, the joy of freedom, and stories that move the heart.

With gratitude,
The IFF Philadelphia Board & Committee
