The 31st annual Seattle Jewish Film Festival will be held March 14-29, 2026. SJFF brings people together from across Washington—and virtually around the globe—to celebrate and showcase the vibrancy and diversity of global Jewish life through cinema to build connections, illuminate perspectives, increase understanding, and offer experiences that amplify profound Jewish experiences for everyone.
Join us to celebrate more than three decades of powerful storytelling, community, and culture with our outstanding 2026 lineup (we’re hard at work on it and will share some highlights soon). Mark your calendars for February 11, when we’ll announce the full lineup of films and events, and when packages + single tickets will go on sale!
A vibrant lineup of films and events showcases Jewish stories across generations and geographies. The festival experience is enriched by talks, panels, and community gatherings that extend the conversation beyond the screen.
Please join us for special events featuring layered cinematic experiences, catered events, community conversations, guest speakers, and parties with food and music.
Celebrate over 30 years of Jewish life and stories onscreen. Dive into the Seattle Jewish Film Festival’s Digital Archive, where you can explore film lineups, Audience Award winners, posters, programs, and festival trailers from each year.
With your support, the Festival showcases powerful stories of transformation and triumph, electrifying events, guests, food and fanfare. Can we count on you to ensure nuanced stories of Jewish life enhance community and enrich understanding in our region and help keep tickets affordable for everyone?
