The JCC Rockland has announced the lineup for its 20th annual International Jewish Film Festival.

Twelve films will be featured this year, and each film will be shown at the AMC Palisades IMAX or at JCC Rockland between April 18 and May 9. 

Organizers say that the primary goal of the festival is to build bridges between the Jewish community, other ethnic and religious communities and all Rocklanders. 

This year marks the first in-person festival since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but there is an option to see all 12 shows virtually between May 10 and May 24.

The festival will also feature nine guest speakers, including our own Senior Investigative Reporter Tara Rosenblum. Several of the films will feature the guest speakers immediately following their screening.
