PJFF brings some of the most acclaimed feature films and documentaries of the year, by some of the finest filmmakers from around the world, including Brazil, Israel, France, Germany, Mexico and the USA. Many of the films are Philadelphia premieres and will be seen on no other screens in the area.

As we enter our 27th season, the works of our Founding Artistic Director are more relevant and resonant than ever:

"With a world in turmoil and a whole set of new adversaries that challenge our existence, it is more important than ever that we become informed about our cultural identity and historic roots as Jews. What better place to learn our special odyssey over centuries than through our Jewish stories!"

- Archie Perlmutter, Founding Artistic Director, 1923-2004
