Jewish Community Center Film Festival
The Jewish Community Center of Greater Dayton is delighted to announce our Dayton Jewish International Film Festival will be held June 4-30, 2026.
Our 26th Film Festival brings to the Dayton community the very best of first-run cinema representing a diversity of Jewish experiences. This year’s line-up includes delightful comedies, uplifting and interesting documentaries, a night of shorts, a children’s event, and Israeli dramas – all celebrating Jewish life. Our Festival is a source of pride, strength, passion, and achievements.
Our dedicated Screening Committee works diligently through the year, selecting quality films that demand to be seen on the big screen. Our films may make you laugh or cry, will inspire lively conversation, and will create another unforgettable celebration of Jewish culture and cinematic storytelling. We are building on the last 26 years with even higher attendance and a wider range of lighter and brighter films than ever before.
In the meantime, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to our Festival. Your gift will enable us to continue offering first-class films and enhance our programming and outreach across the Miami Valley.
Contributions made by Friday, March 13, 2026 will be acknowledged in our programming, advertisements, and in The Dayton Jewish Observer. Your contribution shows solidarity with Jewish culture; our Festival enhances the diverse tapestry of our region.
We thank you and look forward to seeing you at the movies!
