DID YOU KNOW?
The George Eastman House mansion will be open for you pleasure on both Opening and Closing Nights! Enjoy.

Over the last eight years RJFF has screened more than 130 of the highest quality contemporary Jewish films from around the world to you, our dedicated audience. The reality is... we want to bring you more! The proliferation of Jewish film is astounding. In the last five years alone films with Jewish content and films produced in Israel have more than doubled. The RJFF committee members select more films than we are able to schedule at the summer Festival.

So... we are growing! This year RJFF has expanded to 8 days and 20 films - more days and more films than ever before! Additionally, RJFF has relocated a few select nights to the Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House. We are, as always, thrilled to be at the Little Theatre for more than half of our films this summer. Please be sure to double-check the schedule for the proper venue!

We're not just a once-a-year event anymore! RJFF is pleased to announce the new year-round rjff SERIES underwritten by First Niagara. Throughout the year, RJFF will screen films monthly - one Tuesday a month - at our home-away-from-home, The Little Theatre. With the help of First Niagara, our first rjff SERIES supporter, you will have the opportunity to see 10 additional films each year. As always, we welcome your feedback on how we're doing, particularly with this new venture.

Thank you for your generosity and loyalty. We look forward to experiencing more movies together, with you, this year.

Best,

Helene Newman,

Andrea Miller, RJFF
Chairperson since 2006

RJFF Director since 2001
