Sonoma County Jewish Film Festival

Since the Fall of 2000, the Jewish Community Center of Sonoma County has called Rialto Cinemas home for its annual Jewish Film Festival. Produced and programmed by the Jewish Community Center, the Jewish Film Festival presents films about the Jewish experience, both past and present, here at home and around the globe.  Over the years, this festival has become a cherished tradition, presenting captivating films that explore the rich tapestry of the Jewish experience, spanning both historical narratives and contemporary stories.

Schedule of Events:

1pm and 7pm - Among Neighbors

Using hand-drawn animation to bring the past to life, “Among Neighbors" investigates the story of a small, rural town where the longstanding peace between Jewish and Polish neighbors was shattered by World War II. The film focuses on one of the town’s last living Holocaust survivors, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there — six months after the Nazis were defeated. Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash (“Crime After Crime," Sundance Film Festival), “Among Neighbors" is an evocative and politically relevant murder mystery spanning eight decades. WINNER: Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the San Francisco Independent Film Festival, Special Award at the Warsaw Jewish Film Festival, Envision Award from the Jewish Film Institute, Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the Berkshire International Film Festival, and Best Documentary at the Los Angeles Film Awards.
