About Boca International Jewish Film Festival
Physical film festival in Florida, United States with submission categories including Jewish / Israeli Films.
This is our 13th Year running Jewish Film Festivals. Veteran Film Festival Directors Wendy Honig, Lesley Rich and Arleen Roberts invite you to join our new International Jewish Film Festival.
We started our Jewish film adventure in 2014 at the Palm Beach International Film Festival, moving our group of dedicated screeners and patrons thereafter in 2017 to create the Boca Raton Jewish Film Festival with a commitment to grow the festival into one of the largest in the nation, and thereafter becoming the 2nd largest in the US in 2023. One of our purposes is to support filmmakers to get exposure for their films and find distribution opportunities.
We have now expanded to become a new International Jewish Film Festival that will be held in February and March with film programs planned year-round. Our large selection of exciting premiere films will be screened at Cinemark Palace 20 and Movies of Delray and Lake Worth.
The Festival is a 501(c)3 charity organization formed as a celebration of Jewish / Israeli cinema. It is a gathering of filmmakers, film enthusiasts, and industry professionals who come together to appreciate and showcase the art of filmmaking.
We reach out, excite and bring together our community with and through the power of films that showcase Jewish spirit, culture, traditions and humor. The Festival features many World and US Premieres.
The Festival is proud to introduce new films and filmmakers to distributors and its audiences, including both full length and short films. The Festival is run by Wendy Honig and Lesley Rich Submissions are for consideration the festival to be held early 2027.
