Denver Jewish Film Festival

The Denver Jewish Film Festival was a truly wonderful experience. My client was thrilled to screen her documentary feature LOOKING UP, and the entire process was smooth and thoughtfully handled from start to finish.

Tim Campbell runs an exceptionally well-organized festival — communication was clear, logistics were seamless, and everything felt very filmmaker-friendly. The screening itself went beautifully: a great audience, a gorgeous theater, and a deeply engaged crowd. Everyone stayed for a long and lively Q&A, which is always the best sign of a meaningful screening.

This marks the fourth time I’ve had a client’s film programmed at DJFF, and I feel genuinely lucky to keep returning with such strong projects. The festival consistently creates an environment where films, filmmakers, and audiences truly connect.

We’re very grateful for the care and attention the festival puts into its programming and filmmakers, and would happily return again. Highly recommended.

Really excited I had the opportunity to have my short documentary "KosherSoul" included in this year's Denver Jewish Film Festival.
The festival programmers carefully curated screenings, including short film blocks that were thematic, so that audiences were able to attend screenings of shorts they were actually interested in. The star of my film was invited for a Q&A after the film, and to attend a Sunday Brunch following the screening for networking.
While I myself could not travel to the festival this year, I had nothing but positive experiences.
Mazel Tov!

My co-writer/producer had a marvelous time and said everyone was so kind. She loved the lineup and networking opportunites!

Denver Jewish Film Festival was a shining crown in my festival journey. First, I was tracking my views and so a very high number of views from the Denver area, so it's clear that they are really watching with many involved programmers. (Yes, I know views don't always register, but in this case, it was obvious that there were abundant views from this area). The communication was fabulous. So far, it was the ONLY festival to offer a generous screening fee (what! A screening fee!) that made my work and effort feel valued and really helped my bottom line as a hard-working filmmaker with high costs. This was also accompanied by a professional written agreement. When I wanted to update my artwork and copy, the process was very smooth. Unfortunately, the Winter Storm FERN canceled my flight so I was not able to attend in person so I cannot speak to the hospitality. I was however thrilled with the feature doc that they paired my short with - it was the perfect recipe for a meaningful evening. I hope to attend in person and I encourage all Jewish filmmakers to PRIORITIZE applying to the Denver Jewish Film Festival!

This was a really nice festival in a beautiful theater! The team was really great to work with and communicate with, and the other films were great too. This festival also pays filmmakers to show their films if chosen, which is a rare and incredible thing!
