Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival 2026 🎞️ Let it transform you.

Welcome to the largest Jewish film festival in the Midwest.
The 32nd annual Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival returns this October 20 - November 1, 2026. We can’t wait to gather again for 13 unforgettable days of stories and events that inspire, awaken, and connect us. The full slate and ticket sales will be available on Tuesday, September 15.
Organized around the theme “The Creative Spirit,” this year’s festival explores the dynamic relationship between inheritance and reinvention—how artists, families, and communities remain rooted in the stories, traditions, and histories that shape them while continuing to create, question, and evolve.
Across comedy, romance, music, history, family, and identity, the films celebrate both what we carry forward and what becomes possible as we grow.
Together, they offer an invitation: let it transform you.
Whether you’re a longtime festivalgoer or new to the festival, we’re so glad you’re here. On behalf of the Minnesota JCC and our dedicated festival team, thank you for being part of this journey. Your presence makes these stories come alive.
