Atlanta Jewish Film Festival Revenue and Competitors

AJFF’s mission is to entertain and engage diverse audiences with film through a Jewish lens. In so doing, AJFF fulfills its vision to inspire communities to new levels of social and cultural understanding. Seeking to use the power of film both to entertain and educate, AJFF challenges conventional perspectives on Jewish culture and history, life in Israel, and the work of Jewish artists—particularly where these stories intersect with other communities. Returning for another expansive 23 days from Wednesday, January 24 through Thursday, February 15, AJFF’s annual winter festival features an international collection of more than 70 narrative and documentary films (in both feature and short form) that connect with the Jewish experience. The festival brings to Atlanta major films representing more than two dozen countries each year. Outside of its annual festival, AJFF has expanded its year-round programming to engage with the community in new ways. These initiatives include the screening series, AJFF Selects, AJFF On Campus (part of AJFF’s educational outreach), Cinebash (a non-traditional party celebrating film through other artistic mediums), and the Icon Award for Contributions to the Cinematic Arts (an event dedicated to honoring exemplary artists and industry professionals). In addition to its core programs, AJFF will continue to work alongside its many partner organizations to support the greater Atlanta community. The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival was founded in 2000 by the Atlanta Regional Office of American Jewish Committee (AJC), a global advocacy organization that enhances the well-being of the Jewish people and Israel through education, outreach and diplomacy. Through the power and shared experience of cinematic storytelling, AJC and AJFF foster stronger bonds within the Jewish community, and intergroup relations with Atlanta’s diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities. Since 2014, AJFF operates as an independent non-profit arts organization that continues an active partnership with its founding agency, American Jewish Committee.
