www.katzjcc.org/film Welcome to the Festival! We are so grateful to have an incredible group of volunteers that donate their time and passion for film to our ever-growing Cherry Hill Volvo Cars Jewish Film Festival. Our committee is comprised of 51 unique individuals who all share a love of Jewish film. We spend countless hours screening films that span genres and languages, and they are dedicated to helping us choose the best possible films for this incredible week.

We are very proud of the 21 films that we have chosen to highlight in our 12th Annual Cherry Hill Volvo Cars Jewish Film Festival. They originate from seven different countries, many of which have won awards from their respective countries and are fan favorites from other Jewish Film Festivals around the world. We are also thrilled to include two student-created films with local roots;Better Together “Names, Not Numbers”© from the students at the Kellman Brown Academy, and Kaddish by JCC member Antony Post.

We are fortunate that several guest speakers will be joining us to provide additional insight into the films. They include writers, directors, producers, film stars, and film critics. You will get a chance to meet Chef Ina Pinkney from Breakfast at Ina’s, founder and producer Enosh Cassel from My Hero Brother, and Roz Holberg, a Hadassah Board member who will provide insight into Wounded Land.

Of course, a festival like ours can only thrive with community support. We are fortunate to live in a community that enjoys the arts and passionately supports Jewish culture. Special thanks to our naming sponsor, Cherry Hill Volvo Cars and our other generous sponsors who enable the entire community to laugh, reflect, discover, and learn through enriching entertainment.

We can’t wait to see you at the movies!
