The Jewish Film Festival returns to Magic Lantern!

Spokane’s annual celebration of Jewish life and culture onscreen.

The Spokane Jewish Film Festival is the annual community film event hosted by Spokane Area Jewish Family Services featuring films from around the world, presented both in person and online. This year the festival will return to Spokane’s Magic Lantern Theatre for nine days of seven full-length films, four in-person screenings, and four online screenings, as well as four short films.

Spokane’s annual Jewish Film Festival is an event for both Jewish and non-Jewish community members alike, and the festival is an entertaining and fun way to be introduced to Jewish culture and life.

OPENING NIGHT: Don’t miss the film festival premiere of Carla the Rescuer, a new documentary about Spokane’s own Carla Peperzak and her role in the Dutch resistance during World War II. The evening will begin with a cocktail hour at 5:30 p.m. followed by remarks from Carla herself and the premiere screening.

Jan. 25 - Feb. 2 at Magic Lantern Theatre and online
