 Export to My Calendar

The American Sephardi Federation presents the NYSJFF, the only annual festival of its kind. A banquet for filmgoers, this year’s festival will feature world renowned singer Enrico Macias on opening night, and productions from France, Israel, Greece, Austria, and Spain. Rarely seen in the United States, the 16 films will share unforgettable stories of Bukhari, Iraqi, Iranian, Moroccan, Algerian, Greek and Spanish Jews, along with a timely spotlight on the bifurcated lives of Jews displaced from their ruptured Arab homelands. The festival will feature Israeli filmmakers Duki Dror (Shadow in Baghdad), and Yitzhak Halutzi (Breaking the Wall), who have been invited to introduce their films and lead a Q&A after each screening, along with other filmmakers, prominent scholars and critics.
