All films that are available for virtual viewing are available to begin streaming through January 31 at 11:59pm MST. Once you begin watching, you have 72-hours to complete your viewing. There is a message beign sent with confirmation emails with the incorrect date. We are working to solve this glitch.
The Film Festival Committee of the Tucson J is thrilled to announce the 34th annual Tucson J International Film Festival.
From January 8 through January 19 at venues throughout metro Tucson, we are showcasing nineteen film events that celebrate the mosaic of Jewish history and culture, including:
This year, the film committee has gone above and beyond to bring you a variety of programs and special guests such as: a talkback with acclaimed Hollywood actor Mark Feuerstein (Guns & Moses), an interpretive dance performance (Call Me Dancer), a hat contest (Bella!), and a chance to learn and play "the Blackjack of the Jewish people” (Yaniv).
You won't want to miss a thing!
If you didn't catch our in-person film events – or want to rewatch one of your favorites – you can watch most of this year's films online from January 17 through January 31 at 11:59pm (MST).
None of this would be possible without the continued support of our sponsors, community partners, dedicated volunteers, and you, our cherished audience. Your enthusiasm and participation have made the Tucson J International Film Festival among the oldest and most respected Jewish film festivals in the country.
We look forward to having you join us.
See you there!
Robin H. Schultz, Chair
