For over three decades the Jewish Museum and Film at Lincoln Center have collaborated to bring countless international, independent films to the United States through the New York Jewish Film Festival. This year’s iteration—the 32nd—presents 20 features and five shorts that will be screened in person, plus an additional two virtual premieres for those who cannot attend. Topics encompass a wide range of Jewish identities and communities, touching upon the Holocaust, Hasidic Jewry, and Israel while simultaneously exploring sexuality, gender, fashion, visual art, and music. Highlights are sure to include the American premiere of SHTTL, a Ukrainian single-take film about a Jewish village in Ukraine on the day before the Nazis invaded Russia; This Is National Wake, a documentary examining Black-Jewish musical collaboration under South African apartheid; Haute Couture, a Parisian drama whose main character is the Jewish head seamstress at Christian Dior; and Exodus 91, a docu-fiction thriller about Operation Solomon, the 1991 airlift to Israel of more than 10,000 Jewish Ethiopians. Almost every screening will conclude with a Q&A featuring the film’s director. —Lucy Horowitz
