VIJFF 2023:  IN REVIEW

Enlightening &  Entertaining

2023’s 9th annual VIJFF attracted a record number of attendees from a diversity of Victoria communities! Modelling how a program of fulsome ‘film events’ attracts appreciative audiences, the 2023 VIJFF exemplified community building within Victoria’s Jewish community, meaningful engagement with and outreach to others, and strong support from partners & funders. Captivating its audiences in a celebration of inter-culturalism, the 2023 VIJFF staged its curated programme of films as ‘film events’ with live music and snacks (nosh). With a view to tikkun olam, a prototype High School Film Event engaged with the film Neighbours and a Family Program entertained with a short film, storyteller, and music. These will inform the program for 2024’s 10th annual VIJFF!

Dates Coming soon!

VIJFF 2024

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.

Details forthcoming.

10th annual VIJFF!

Principles

01

INTER-CULTURAL CONNECTIONS
To build connections among cultures and communities through the universality of cinema, by presenting films featuring Jewish and Jewish-adjacent themes that are less broadly available.

02

DIVERSITY AND ITS INTERSECTIONS
To broaden awareness of cultural diversity and its intersections with Jewish culture, by programming films that transcend particular people, places, and politics by conveying universal themes, shared values, and common ground.

03

CINEMA AESTHETICS

To enhance an appreciation of film artistry and cinematic communication, by celebrating films, their creators, and their diversity of genres and viewpoints on complex subject matter.

Thanks!
