Welcome to the 22nd Annual Beth Tzedec Calgary Jewish Film Festival! Although we had hoped to be able to come together in person this year, the safety and well-being of our community is a top priority for us. And since many of you are still not comfortable gathering in large crowds, we have chosen to bring the film festival to you “virtually” once again this year, so that you’re able to enjoy this season’s exciting line-up of outstanding films from the safety, comfort and convenience of your own homes!
We would like to express our deepest thanks to all of our sponsors, without whom this festival would not be possible. It is their generosity, community-mindedness and commitment to Jewish culture that enables us to offer this event to the community.
And a special thank you to the members of our dedicated Film Festival Committee who have spent months previewing films in order to bring you a diverse selection of engaging films that we hope will move and inspire you, entertain and delight you, enlighten and challenge you.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each film is scheduled to begin at a specific time, and will be available for a 48 hour window from the start time. You can view the film at your own convenience, at any time during that 48 hour period.
Please Note: The films can only be viewed within Alberta
Films can be streamed on any “smart” device: a smart TV, a desktop or laptop computer, a tablet, or even a smart phone. There are various ways you can connect these devices to your home TV using an HDMI cable or through device-to-TV-screen mirroring. For more information on how to connect your devices and view the films on your home TV, refer to our Technology Tips page by clicking here.
