THE PROGRAM
Seven international Jewish Film Festivals have agreed to be presenters at the second year of the Las Vegas Celebration of Jewish Film. The participating Festival directors have each selected one Jewish film that has previously screened at their respective festivals in order to present that same film at the Celebration. These selections reflect the individual vision and spirit of the participating festivals.

The Jewish Film Festivals that have agreed to attend as presenters include San Francisco, Sephardic International, Denver, Mexico City, San Diego, Jewish Cinema South, Toronto.

The participating Festival directors will introduce their selected film in person and share information about the achievements and goals of their individual festival. Filmmakers of the presented films will also be present.

Seven new festivals will be invited to present at the Celebration in subsequent years. Representatives from all the other existing Jewish film festivals are encouraged to attend the event.
