Dell JCC

Experience a curated selection of films that are funny, moving, and surprising at this annual cinematic celebration. Join us for a diverse lineup of storytelling that explores the depth and breadth of the Jewish experience.&nbsp;The Austin Jewish Film Festival is pleased to announce its 2026 Festival lineup, which includes some of the most important Jewish and Israeli films curated from around the world. From the legendary Catskills to the streets of Jerusalem, from a young pianist’s extraordinary escape from Nazi Vienna to a Jewish lawyer’s showdown with Henry Ford, the Austin Jewish Film Festival brings unforgettable stories to the big screen.
Opening Night kicks off with We Met at Grossinger’s, a nostalgic trip to the resort that inspired Dirty Dancing, complete with live music and festivities. Music takes center stage again in Hold on to Your Music, featuring a special performance and Q&amp;A with acclaimed pianist Mona Golabek, and in the Closing Night premiere of Dust Bowls and Jewish Souls, exploring Woody Guthrie’s surprising Jewish connections, with live music and an appearance by his granddaughter, Sarah Lee Guthrie.
In between, audiences can unravel the secrets of the Israeli thriller Heaven and Earth with director Ruby Doaniass, discover the true story of a Jewish lawyer who challenged an American icon in Sapiro v. Ford with director Gaylen Ross and executive producer Carol King, and experience the humor and heart of The Wedding Entertainer, followed by a conversation with director Gidi Dar and writer-star Shuli Rand.
With filmmaker conversations, live performances, and food and drink to gather around, this year’s festival offers much more than a movie ticket. It’s a celebration of stories that entertain, challenge, inspire, and connect us.
The 24th Austin Jewish Film Festival will take place in person from November 12 to November 19, 2026, followed by virtual screenings November 20 - 29 (Note: virtual screenings are geoblocked to Texas). Most Austin Jewish Film Festival films will screen at the Dell Jewish Community Center (Dell JCC) in Northwest Austin with a few additional on/near the University of Texas campus.
Individual Movie Tickets: $13-$34
AJFF Festival Passes: $120-$225
