The 2017 New York Jewish Film Festival, which will take place January 11-24, has announced the primary lineup of films it will feature. Of the 29 films selected for the festival’s 26th incarnation, 26 will be receiving their world, United States, or New York premieres.
The films will include Dorit Hakim’s “Moon in the 12th House,” which will be screened at the festival’s opening night, Bernard Henri-Lévy’s documentary “Peshmerga,” which will receive a centerpiece screening, and Maria Schrader’s “Stefan Zweig, Farewell to Europe,” which will close the festival.
The festival, which is a joint effort of the Jewish Museum and the Film Society of Lincoln Center, will feature a mix of narrative features, documentaries, and shorts. Read the Forward’s coverage of the 2016 festival here, and find information on the full slate of films for 2017 here
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
