26th Annual Altoona International Jewish Film Festival

The Altoona Jewish Film Festival was created in 2000 to bring the riches and diversity of Jewish content films to the Jewish and general communities in our area.  Typically four films are shown yearly during the month of February and vary widely in content.  Prior to each film, the Federation helps sponsor a community dinner. Funding for this evening is through admission fees and Federation sponsorship.  A committee from the Jewish community plans each year’s festival.

Appetizers and Dinner 5:30 to 6:30 pm at our NEW LOCATON, the Agudath Achim Social Hall followed by the movie at 7:00 pm at the PSU Altoona Devorris Downtown Center. The before movie meal is $20 and the movie is $5.
