Pioneer Valley Jewish Film Festival

The Pioneer Valley Jewish Film Festival (PVJFF) is the cornerstone of Jewish culture in Western Massachusetts and one of the best-attended events on the communal calendar! If you love film and are passionate about your Jewish community, please consider making a donation today to help PVJFF grow and thrive.

For 10 years running, PVJFF has showcased the best of independent Jewish cinema from around the world. This spring, in partnership with the Springfield JCC, the festival will present a diverse selection of award-winning dramas, comedies, documentaries and children’s films at 16 venues across the region. Post-screening discussions with actors, film directors and scholars provide fresh perspectives and deepen community dialogue about the global Jewish experience.

The festival owes its success and longevity to many generous and loyal donors, sponsors and community screening partners. Because ticket sales cover only 15% of our expenses, your support makes the difference! 

Your contribution helps make possible what makes PVJFF so special – exceptional films, warm hospitality, engaged audiences, wide-ranging perspectives and affordable ticket prices. 

Thank you for helping sustain our signature film festival and Jewish cultural community!
