New York Jewish Film Festival'; $content=' The New York Jewish Film Festival is a collaborative project of The Jewish Museum and The Film Society of Lincoln Center. Each year in January, this international festival brings to the big screen a wide range of thought-provoking films by both emerging and established filmmakers about the Jewish experience.

This year\'s selections offered a pluralistic vision of modern Jewish identity as they spoke to our ongoing need to investigate, record and, above all, celebrate the Jewish experience. Works by Argentinians, Swedes and Lower East Siders - from documentary to historical drama to lighthearted romantic satire - made up an eclectic cross-section of contemporary Jewish filmmaking.
