Jewish International Film Festival
Experience the biggest and best selection of Jewish-themed films from around the world, screening in Australian cinemas nationally from 19 October through to 21 December.

Feedback/Comments
Love it
Bad Shabbos was lots of fun. Good programming.
Eleanor The Great is beautiful,heartwarming story.It explores themes of ageing, and loss.
I can’t recommend it enough
brilliant
Very moving film with great acting, particularly by the 94 year old lead
Eleanor the Great was heartwarming with phenomenal acting. Love JIFF
There were so many films to choose from, but I really enjoyed the one I saw. It was based on a true story.
we love the JIFF :)
I saw Matchmaking 2 yesterday which was great, there are lots of movies to choose from, I look forward to seeing more.
A bit cheesy but loved it all the same
