The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival (AJFF) is a 12-day cinematic examination of Jewish life, culture and history. The AJFF seeks to use the power of film and video to both entertain and educate, while challenging conventional perspectives on complex and challenging issues facing the Jewish and world community alike.
Founded in 2000, AJFF is the second largest Jewish film festival in the United States (and largest film festival in Atlanta), attracting an audience of 15,000 and showcasing some 50 international works that examine various aspects of Jewish life. Moviegoers cast their ballots for the Best Narrative and Best Documentary film of the Festival, with winners receiving the AJFF Audience Award. Screenings are supplemented with guest appearances by filmmakers, actors, authors, academics and other expert panelists. In 2007, the AJFF was recognized with prestigious grants from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, an American Jewish Committee Atlanta Chapter production, is made possible with the generous support of corporate, foundation, government and individual sponsors.
