Welcome to the
Naiditch Family Foundation
2019 Jewish Film Festival
of Sarasota-Manatee!
As we celebrate the Jewish Film Festival's 10-Year Anniversary, we are extremely excited to present a record line-up of 18 premiere films!
These 18 films provide a fascinating, multi-dimensional window into Jewish and Israeli history, and Jewish values. They expose us to a variety of historical, personal, and emotional experience--both real and fictional--that can spark our thinking, expand our perspectives, and strengthen our connection to the larger world of the Jewish people.
