Born in 2012 out of a passion to grow and support the Jewish Community Center of Palm Springs, The Palm Springs Jewish Film Festival has grown into one of the most respected and exciting film festivals in the country. Over the years, our festival has been recognized as a leader in the Jewish community, selling out year after year with renowned producers, directors, writers, and celebrities in attendance with provocative Q & A’s.

At the Palm Springs Jewish Film Festival, we are committed to screening the most innovative and thought-provoking films from around the world. Our programming team works tirelessly to curate a diverse and exciting international lineup that showcases the best films and documentaries that are played at Jewish Film Festivals and brings those films to Palm Springs.

Our audiences are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that film has the power to bring people together, to inspire and to challenge us, and we strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone can enjoy the magic of the cinema. The diversity of the films we showcase at the film festival are not language specific and offered in many other languages.
