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!

Comedy-drama about a Bronx high school teacher who needs to raise $10,000 for his school’s production of Little Shop of Horrors. He teams up with his colleague Jonah, a former gambling addict, to play Yaniv, an Israeli card game, at an underground club in Regal Park. Hosted by Mendy, Orthodox men bet big on “the blackjack of the Jewish people,” taking the game very seriously.
