Phoenix Jewish Film Festival

Every festival has its heartbeat — and this one pulses through song. From rock-infused Jewish anthems to liturgical meditations, the artists behind the songs featured in our Appreciation Video are at the forefront of what’s sometimes called contemporary Jewish music — where tradition and modern life converse in cadence and lyric.

STRONG WOMEN IN THIS YEAR’S FILM FESTIVAL The spotlight is on women who refuse to fade into the background. This year’s film festival lineup includes stories of women who are bold, brave, complex, and unstoppable whose stories demand to be seen and heard.

That’s a wrap on the 2025 Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival. I sincerely hope you had as much fun as I did.
