Welcome back! We’re thrilled to return for another year and deeply grateful for the enduring support from the Baton Rouge community since our start in 2007. The BRJFF celebrates the diversity of the Jewish experience through film. Our program aims to entertain and inspire you, our audience, by presenting universal themes against the backdrop of Jewish traditions and characters. Additionally, the festival highlights Baton Rouge as a progressive, multicultural, and multi-ethnic community. Thank you for your support, and see you at the movies!
The Blond Boy from the Casbah (2023) is in French with English Subtitles.
Director: Alexandre Arcady
Passionate filmmaker Antoine travels to his birthplace, Algiers, with his young son to present his new film about his childhood during Algeria’s civil war. Wandering the city, Antoine recalls moments of happiness, laughter, and tears spent with school friends and his Jewish family. Growing up during Algeria’s pre-independence period, he discovers his love for cinema and starts to understand his identity.
