Showcasing 27 captivating films from around the globe, the Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival celebrates Jewish storytelling while delving into themes of culture, history and the human experience.

The 2026 festival invites audiences to enjoy a vibrant selection of heartwarming dramas, thought-provoking documentaries and laugh-out-loud comedies. This year’s experience includes special guest conversations, filmmaker Q&As and other events.

The festival opens on Thursday, Feb. 12, 7 p.m. with the U.S. premier of the film “Heaven and Earth” at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts and continues through March 1 at Harkins Theaters locations across the Valley.

“For 30 years, the Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival has brought our community together through the power of film. As we celebrate this milestone, we’re inspired by how Jewish stories spark connection, conversation, and a shared sense of belonging across the Valley,” said Tali Brosh and Virginie Polster, volunteer co-executive directors for GPJFF.
