The Seattle Jewish Film Festival (SJFF) is one of the largest and longest-running film festivals in the Pacific Northwest and one of the largest Jewish film festivals in the country. A cornerstone program of the Stroum Jewish Community Center (SJCC), SJFF brings people together from across Washington-and virtually around the globe-to celebrate and showcase the vibrancy and diversity of global Jewish life through cinema to build connections, illuminate perspectives, increase understanding, and offer experiences that amplify profound Jewish experiences for everyone.

The Stroum Jewish Community Center is proud to present this preeminent public arts program and community gathering place to deepen comprehension, inspire connections, and strengthen community through global Jewish cinema and conversation. More than a film festival, SJFF serves as a vibrant cultural cornerstone for all.
