| The Silicon Valley Jewish Film Festival is a volunteer organization located in Silicon Valley, a region known around the globe for the high technology developed here. The Silicon Valleyn Jewish Film Festival promotes cultural diversity by providing opportunities to the community to expand its knowledge of Jewish themes and culture through films that document, entertain, and educate.
The Silicon Valley Jewish Film Festival is convenient and accessible. All movie screenings are close to home, in downtown San Jose, the Pruneyard in Campbell, the Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto and the Cubberley Theater in Palo Alto. This is our 18th year as a major regional film festival. We invite you to join us as we continue to grow. |
