JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022 | ARIZONA JEWISH LIFE
or more than a quarter of a century, the Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival (GPJFF) has celebrated Jewish culture through film, bringing an exciting lineup of films to Arizona, honoring Jewish traditions and heritage. From Feb. 10 through Feb. 27, the 26th Annual Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival will screen films showcasing the best of Jewish life, history and heritage. Due to ongoing health and safety concerns, the film festival will once again be held virtually. Currently the longest-running film festival in the Valley, the Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival celebrates its 26th year by presenting more great films that make our festival even bigger and better – almost 3,400 minutes of Jewish cinema from dozens of different countries! Rejoice in this popular annual event with more than 30 feature-length and short films ranging from defiance and revenge, to fun and adventure, and to laughter and love, with something for everyone and stories that engage both mind and heart. Via just about any device, computer or Smart TV, the audience can travel from the beaches and shuks of Israel to the back lots and sound stages of Hollywood; from a tropical farm in Brazil to the witness stand of the United States Supreme Court; from the limestone hills of the island of Majorca to multiple villages and towns of wartime Europe. Using innovative technology, the virtual festival allows participants to easily build a flexible customized plan to see every film. Post-film interviews with filmmakers and experts on a film’s subjects will be held seamlessly after many screenings. In addition, a variety of international short films will play before many of the screenings. For more information on the Festival or to purchase tickets starting January 17, visit gpjff.org. You can also follow the Festival on Twitter at @GPJFF or on Facebook at facebook.com/ GreaterPhxJewishFilmFest.
