Our Story

The Wilmington Jewish Film Festival entered the Port City’s cultural scene in October 2013 with a cheerful film celebrating Jewish songwriters’ contributions to Broadway musicals. That first film was followed by a speaker (the director) and then a catered reception offering many opportunities for conversation and community.

These elements became signature features of the annual film festivals that followed every spring, beginning in 2014. The film screenings have attracted more and more viewers, and thefestival has become an important part of the Jewish community as well as the Wilmington community at large

Screenings include internationally acclaimed films on Jewish themes and issues, both historical and contemporary. The selections represent the best of Jewish filmic creativity in the U.S., Israel, France, and other nations. A summer film series has recently been added to screen excellent films that could not be placed in the spring Festival.

In the fall of 2018, the Festival presented the North Carolina premier of the film, Who Will Write Our History. Director/producer Roberta Grossman was brought to Wilmington for a question-and-answer session after the screening. The event was sold out and was tremendously successful.

It’s genuinely inspiring to see a community coming together to celebrate and promote films of Jewish artists! Especially here in Wilmington, it's so important to recognize independent films and those that work on them! One of my recent favorite indie films, I discovered, was actually directed by Jewish director, Yedidya Gorsetman, whose work in Empathy Inc. is truly outstanding. The narrative of the film follows Joel (Zack Robidas) as he finds himself involved with an extreme new form of VR that forces him along with everyone involved to question their reality as unsettling details become revealed about the tech and the startup behind it. Gorsetman truly elevates the film with a sure hand, and makes the most of his cinematography and partial screenwriting in the truly thrilling indie film! Make sure you’re on the lookout for his work in the future, but in the mean-time, I really recommend looking into Empathy Inc. some and finding the trailer on Youtube or even streaming it!
Just bought our season tickets will see you soon . Looking forward to a great year
