Jewish Film Institute’s “Peripheral Visions: An Evening Celebrating Jews of Color in Film” is a dedicated and intentional space created by and for JOC filmmakers and film lovers at the 44th San Francisco Jewish Film Festival (July 18 – August 4, 2024). Through a series of short films and a guided community discussion with the filmmakers, this program will explore the diverse experiences of Jews of Color related to themes of race, belonging, migration, diaspora, and the transmission of shared culture across barriers of identity. Selected films will examine the experience of Jews of Color through a cinematic exploration of the unique cultural contributions of JOC identities in expanding collective understandings of what it means to be Jewish.
