The 29th Annual Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival (GPJFF) will run from February 13 to March 2, 2025, at Harkins Theaters in Scottsdale, Chandler, and Peoria. Showcasing 28 captivating films from around the globe, the festival celebrates the richness of Jewish storytelling while delving into themes of culture, history, and the human experience.
The 2025 Festival invites audiences on a journey through the rich tapestry of Jewish storytelling, with heartwarming dramas, thought-provoking documentaries, and laugh-out-loud comedies. This year’s experience includes discussions, Q&A sessions with filmmakers, and other exciting events, with a key highlight being the debut of the festival’s first-ever short-film showcase.
The Festival opens on Thursday, February 13, at 7 PM with a special reception and the Arizona premiere of the Israeli drama Soda at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. Co-hosted by the Israeli Consulate of Los Angeles, the event features a post-screening talkback with co-stars Lior Raz (Fauda, Gladiator II) and Rotem Sela (The Baker & the Beauty), and director Erez Tadmor (Matchmaking, Children of Nobody).
