The Nashville Jewish Film Festival (NJFF) is a program of the Gordon Jewish Community Center. This year, the NJFF will celebrate its 23rd year of bringing educational, entertaining and thought-provoking Jewish-themed films to the Nashville community.
The NJFF aims to create a forum for the wider Nashville community to understand the complexity of issues surrounding Jewish life in contemporary society. The films chosen each year are meant to demonstrate the breadth and depth of the Jewish cultural, religious, historical, and social conditions of the modern era.
Each year NJFF presents the Annual Kathryn H. Gutow Student Film Competition. Originating in 2005 and named in memory of the co-founder of the festival, the competition features student films with Jewish theme or content from campuses around the world.
A cash prize of $1,000 for the winner of the Kathryn Gutow Student Film Award Finalists will be screened at the 2023 NJFF and the winning film will also be screened at the Nashville Film Festival 2024.
