The need for your support has never been greater. Your gift provides continuity to the San Diego International Jewish Film Festival (SDIJFF) and allows us to present the largest, world-class Jewish cultural event in San Diego, now in its 36th year.

This is your opportunity to create conversation and community. Please join us in sharing the joy that independent film delivers both individually and collectively. This year’s festival will celebrate film, connection, and Jewish culture; your gift ensures that the spirit of the film festival remains the same.
