About

Tuscaloosa’s inaugural Jewish Film Festival took place in 2003 through a partnership between Temple Emanu-El and the Arts and Humanities Council of Tuscaloosa County. The festival was established with the goals of introducing local audiences to the best of Jewish filmmaking and expanding cultural and social understanding. Now in its seventh year, the festival has grown to include specific areas of Jewish culture such as food and music.

We are proud to add a book discussion series to the festival!

All discussions will be held at the Hillel House at the University of Alabama, 900 Anna Avenue. The events are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided.
