The Story of Naples Jewish Film Festival

Mission

Since 2013, the Naples Jewish Film Festival, with the support of the Festival Sponsors, and Business Partners, with SOLD OUT PERFORMANCES, has presented the best and brightest cinematic moments from newly released Israeli and Jewish cinema.

The Naples Jewish Film Festival committee uses the power of cinema to entertain, challenge, and educate our audience of theater lovers by celebrating awareness, appreciation, and pride in diversity of Jews everywhere.

The Naples Jewish Film Festival affords movie goers the opportunity to see films not readily available in theaters or via streaming services. The high quality of films with Jewish themes creates a sense of community, fosters cultural understanding and lifts the experience like no other medium.

We tell a story.

History

Who are these women? The Naples Jewish Film Festival was created, inspired, and organized  by Jay Kaye and Rosalee Bogo (pictured). Their goal was to enter into an era of expansion and commitment to artistic quality attracting sell out performances. They did the job!

The Festival has hosted and introduced a diverse group of filmmakers, directors, and celebrities. The Festival prides its success on its solid foundation of cultural commitment to the community.

The focus to create greater cultural understanding, promote tolerance, and encourage artistic development and excellence by strengthening community through the arts is the Festivals mission.
