With your support, we’ve been able to present compelling and unique programs. Here is a reminder of some of what you’ve seen from Boston Jewish Film in 2020.
2nd ANNUAL ISRAELI FILM FESTIVAL
This was one of the last festivals in the area to be presented in person! In its second year, the Boston Israeli Film Festival brought together a substantial audience across ages and communities and solidified the Festival as a major Israeli event in the Boston area.
REELABILITIES
Boston Jewish Film set the standard for virtual festivals! Stay-at-home orders were activated just days before the 9th annual ReelAbilities Boston Film Festival was set to open. We were able to quickly turn the Festival from in-person to virtual. Accessibility took on new meaning as we welcomed audience members that might not typically attend.
STREAMING CINEMATHEQUE
In place of our annual Summer Cinematheque, we launched a Streaming Cinematheque, with screenings and virtual Q&As! As a result of this viewership increased, both during and after the live-streamed events.
32nd ANNUAL BOSTON JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL
You were able to travel around the globe and enjoy interactive and enthralling films and conversations, all from the comfort of your home. We presented exclusive discussions with numerous filmmakers, academics, clergy, a special look behind the scenes of
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and intimate music performances and workshops
