A Look Back: 2025 SJFF

The Seattle Jewish Film Festival celebrated its 30th Pearl Anniversary Mar. 22 – Apr. 13.

Like a pearl formed through resilience and transformation, the Seattle Jewish Film Festival has spent 30 years illuminating powerful stories that shine through history’s darkest moments and celebrate the triumphs of Jewish life, culture, and cinema.

As the Pacific Northwest’s largest and longest-running Jewish event, SJFF has premiered 1,000 cinematic gems in our three-decade run. In theaters + virtually, SJFF showcased 30 films for our 30th anniversary from March 22 – April 13, 2025.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—we can’t wait for our 31st annual SJFF. Enjoy the pictures from our 30th celebration!
