VIJFF 2024: IN REVIEW
Enjoying the Diversity of Jewish Cinema Culture!
2024’s 10th VIJFF attracted scores of cinephiles from a diversity of Victoria communities! Modelling how a program of fulsome ‘film events’ attracts appreciative audiences, the 2024 VIJFF exemplified community building within Victoria, meaningful engagement with & outreach to others, and expanding support from stakeholders. With captivating cultural cinema, the 2024 VIJFF staged its curated program of films as ‘film events’ with live music and snacks (nosh). From tikkun olam foundations, a 2nd annual High School Film Event engaged students & teachers with the film Avenue of the Giants. A Spotlights on Canadian-Jewish Filmmaking event screened 3 films, each with its own cultural motivations & aesthetic directions.
Coming this fall!
VIJFF 2025
Leveraging its cross-cultural foundations to create captivating ‘film events’, the VIJFF’s upcoming program will again attract a diversity of audiences: cinephiles, families, and those for whom Jewish & Jewish-adjacent themes are of cultural interest.
