Portland Jewish Film Festival
The Portland Jewish Film Festival
celebrates the Jewish experience through
film. The Festival presents films which provide a forum for
dialogue
about Jewish heritage, culture and identity.
The Film
Festival began in 1991, on
a modest scale at the
Oregon coast for a weekend of films along with the comments of local
film critics.
This continued for five years. Interest was so high that
Rabbi Stampfer asked the Northwest Film Center to develop a Jewish film
festival in Portland. With NWFC as producer-artistic director and IJS
as developer of community support, PJFF was born.
The festival is
now one of the oldest in the
country and screens annually twelve to fifteen films, drawn from
countries all over the world. A few highlights of the past years
include: The Rape of Europa,
Shanghai Ghetto, and Fateless.
Attendance is now over 2,000 each year.
