WELCOME 2019
The Buffalo International Jewish Film Festival is dedicated
to providing an educational and entertaining cultural
experience to the general community. Now in its 34th
year, the Festival has striven to bring you the best new
independent international films which should not only
amuse and enthrall, but should also invite contemplation
on societal issues of ethics and justice.
Consider the #MeToo dilemma of Working Woman whose
protagonist must support her family, while fending off
unwanted advances from her boss.
In The Waldheim Waltz, witness a case study of how a lying,
deceitful power-monger rises to the Presidency of his
country by concealing his motives and past actions.
Who Will Write Our History speaks to the authenticity of
historical events, as opposed to false interpretations.
The Accountant Of Auschwitz asks us to sit in judgment in a
nuanced case of collusion.
Additionally, we invite you to attend a presentation by a
local film producer with some very impressive credits. This
year’s Festival is a feast for both the spirit and the mind.
