UK Jewish Film Festival

This UK-wide festival, a primo showcase of Jewish diaspora storytelling, aims to explore Jewish life through film. This year it marks its 30th anniversary and features a lineup of more than 70 films, including 50 World or UK premieres, many fresh from Cannes, Sundance, Venice, Berlin and Tribeca. Look out for special gala screenings, including UK premiere of When The Night Falls (Nov 5), a Cannes premiere directed by and starring celebrated French actor-filmmaker Daniel Auteuil and based on a true story following a civil servant who defies the Nazi-imposed deadline to deport Jewish children from Vichy France; the UK premiere of The Wedding Entertainer (The Tale of Moishe Badhan) (Nov 12), a modern Jewish folktale about a down-on-his-luck wedding entertainer; and the UK premiere of The Last Concert (Nov 15), a thrilling cat-and-mouse drama, which will close out the festival.
