#LetsGetReel
The Jewish Film Festival of Dallas provides a window to the Jewish experience and allows us to explore contemporary and historical themes in many different global settings. Some films will make you laugh, and others will make you cry, but all will provide you with a life lesson.

For the first time in years, we will host an in-person festival at Studio Movie Grill, 13933 N Central Expy, Dallas, TX 75243, Theater # 15. To enhance your viewing and learning experience, we will offer a virtual Talk Back with an expert on the subject matter after some of the films.
