The event, presented by the Jewish Community Centre of Victoria, includes free in-person screenings at The Vic Theatre, along with online offerings.
Admission: Free
The event, which is presented by the Jewish Community Centre of Victoria, runs for a record six days this week, with free in-person screenings at The Vic Theatre on most evenings through the week and others airing on the festival’s virtual cinema portal. A bigger program means more visibility in the community, which is a welcome turn of events after two years of pandemic uncertainty and scaled-down festivals in 2020 and 2021.
A slate of cross-cultural programming featuring films with Jewish and Jewish-adjacent themes includes offerings from Germany , Spain , Israel , Canada , the United States , and Sweden . “We used to do two or three films in a day and compress it into four days. Now, we’ve extended it slightly and made it more diverse, in terms of the kind of things we can do,” Bricks said.
