Jewish Film Festival Berlin & Brandenburg Returns for 2025

The Jewish Film Festival Berlin & Brandenburg (JFFB) is set to return for its 26th edition from May 6 to May 11, 2025. This year, the festival promises an exciting lineup of independent films from Israel, the U.S., and Europe, focusing on global Jewish narratives.

Kicking off the festival on May 6 is the dark comedy "Bad Shabbos" by Daniel Robbins. This film follows a chaotic Shabbat dinner in New York, starring Kyra Sedgwick.

Other notable films in the lineup include "Of Dogs and Men" by Dani Rosenberg, a docudrama about a woman’s search for her missing dog after the October 7 attacks, and "The Hungarian Dressmaker" by Iveta Grófová, a story about a Hungarian widow hiding a Jewish boy from fascists.

Israeli cinema will also feature prominently in the lineup. For the most accurate and updated details, checking the official JFFB website or press releases around the festival dates would be recommended.

In addition to screenings, the festival will include discussions and events centered around Jewish culture and history. However, detailed daily event schedules beyond the film premieres were not fully specified in the search results.

There is also an exhibition called "Sex. Jewish Positions" that is rumoured to be connected to the Jewish Film Festival Berlin & Brandenburg 2025. However, more focused information might be needed from the official festival website or additional cultural event listings to confirm its connection to the festival.

The JFFB film festival offers a diverse program of contemporary and reissue films, with approximately 50 films available, spanning various genres. The festival is a significant part of the Berlin cinema circuit and a platform to explore the rich history of Jewish cinema in Germany and beyond.

The JFFB film festival holds competitions for feature and documentary films, and this year, an accompanying film series will tackle taboos, desire, sex work, and the struggle for sexual education and equality.

The JFFB film festival will take place in various cinemas across Berlin from May 6 to May 11, 2025. For more information, visit the official JFFB website.
