JFilm's mission is to promote community dialogue and cultural understanding by presenting year-round film programs and guest artists from around the world.
JFilm explores and celebrates Jewish culture.
JFilm actively reaches out to people of all races and religions, ages and abilities by programming films with a broad range of themes and by collaborating with a diversity of community and educational organizations.

Our programs include:

The Jewcy Film Series
Geared towards young adults between the ages of 21 - 35, the Jewcy Film Series creates a fun, social setting around a night at the movies.  We choose films that will appeal to a young audience (think hip and edgy).  A catered after party allows the Jewcy crowd to mix, mingle and discuss the movie. 

Past events include:
Lost Islands at the Southside Works with catered after party at the Wine Loft.
Ajami, screened at the Istanbul Cafe in Lawrenceville with catered after party.
Strangers screened under the Schenley Park tent accompanied by popcorn, candy, and drinks.
Breaking Upwards, screened at Pittsburgh Filmmakers with catering by Tallulah's and guest filmmakers/actors Daryl Wein and Zoe Lister-Jones in attendance.

Reel to Real
Reel to Real is a great program that brings teens (grades 9 – 12) to assisted living facilities to watch a film with resident seniors. After the film, the teens lead a discussion with the seniors. The purpose of the program is to bridge the age gap between these 2 groups through film and conversation.

Teen Screen
Offers free weekday film screenings for school groups.  Teachers receive a preparatory guide and a talk back session follows each film.  Over 6,000 students have attended Teen Screen since its inception in 2005.

Film Festival
2011 marks the 18th annual Pittsburgh Jewish Israeli Film Festival.  Each year our festival committee previews hundreds of films from around the globe to bring an interesting and engaging selection of Jewish films to Pittsburgh.
