The Ames Amzalak Rochester Jewish Film Festival (RJFF) is an annual event organized by the Louis S. Wolk Jewish Community Center of Greater Rochester. Established in 2001, the festival aims to showcase the best contemporary Jewish-themed films from around the world, promoting awareness and pride in the diversity of all people and strengthening community consciousness of Jewish identity, history, and culture. With a focus on providing a forum for community gatherings and valuable dialogue, the festival also serves as an international showcase for filmmakers who are Jewish or whose work explores Jewish themes.
The festival features a diverse range of films, including documentaries and narratives, and offers a platform for survivor accounts and post-film discussions. With venues such as the JCC Hart Theater, Dryden Theatre, and Dawn Lipson Canalside Stage, the festival provides a unique opportunity for the Rochester community to engage with Jewish arts, culture, and history. Through its commitment to quality programming and its dedication to creating a meaningful cinematic experience, the RJFF has become a significant cultural event in the region.
