That’s a Wrap! A Look Back at the 2025 Festival
The 31st annual Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival was our biggest and most impactful festival ever. We welcomed audiences for eleven unforgettable days of films and events that inspired, challenged, and deeply connected our community.
The festival showcased an expansive lineup from around the globe, featuring thought-provoking documentaries, luminous narratives, and powerful short films that explored Jewish identity in all its richness and diversity. With regional and national premieres, international award-winners, and films that sparked meaningful conversation, each screening opened the door to reflection, dialogue, and discovery.
The 2025 festival reminded us of the power of storytelling—to illuminate our shared humanity, bridge differences, and create space for understanding. More than a film festival, it was a gathering of community—and one we will long remember.
