Designed to build bridges, entertain, and create dialog, the Festival offers a universal medium through which Jewish history, traditions, political viewpoints, the arts, and personal relationships can all be viewed with the goal of experiencing life from another angle.

In 2018, the TCJFF entered into a partnership with the Twin Cities Film Fest, providing the Festival the opportunity to access more films and to draw more Jewish filmmakers and artists to our community to connect with local audiences.
