Annual Nashville Jewish Film Festival

The Nashville Jewish Film Festival (NJFF) is a program of the Gordon Jewish Community Center. This year, the NJFF will celebrate its 24th year of bringing educational, entertaining and thought-provoking Jewish-themed films to the Nashville community.

Schedule of Events:

7:00 PM: The Catskills

The Catskills is a humorous and nostalgic tribute to the "Borscht Belt," the area in the Catskill Mountains which became a place of resistance against anti-Semitic exclusion and a flourishing site for Yiddishkeit and future comedians (Danny Kaye, Mel Brooks, Shecky Green, and more). Former entertainers, waiters, and dancers tell their stories and show their keepsakes from the family run resorts (like Grossingers and Kutschers) that served as the inspiration for films like Dirty Dancing and Marjorie Morningstar.
