Take a fresh look at an exceptional film selection!
The Fonds Social Juif Unifié and the Jewish Pedagogical and Cultural Center of Nice are signing up for a 2nd International Jewish Film Festival of Nice.
Unprecedented in France, the first edition of this Festival was a great success where film lovers and the curious were offered a beautiful cinematic escape to films from elsewhere.
Building on the expertise of Judaï-ciné, the FSJU’s cinema agency, the 2011 edition aims to explore new horizons, with masterpieces awarded at renowned festivals, which will highlight different facets of Jewish identity, myriad lives, and stories.
The goal is to take a fresh perspective on an exceptional film selection enriched by debates and meetings with the directors and distributors of the films presented.
The artistic and cultural diversity, genres, and nationalities of this selection characterize the ambition of this new Festival.
