The 16th annual Sephardic Jewish Film Festival will take place March 15- 22. The festival, that offers a unique look into the worldview and history of Sephardic Jews both in America and abroad, was the first Jewish film festival in New york City.
Its goal:
“to illuminate the scope of the Sephardic experience; to raise the consciousness of the American Jewish, and non-Jewish, community to a better understanding of Sephardic Jewry; and to present, through the medium of film, the history, literature, poetry, music, dance, customs and traditions of the Sephardic world.”
