Jerusalem International Film Festival 2021: The 38th edition of the festival is on!
The 38th edition of the International Film Festival is launching on August 24th. It’ll open festively at the Sultans Pool and in front of 5,000 spectators, attended by important figures of the film industry in Israel and the world.
During the festival, over 200 films from 50 countries will be screened. Award-winning contests will be held with international teams of judges. Film lovers will be able to meet with filmmakers from Israel and the globe. Professionals from the industry are welcome to participate in special events.
The festival will feature premiers of much-anticipated works, along with daily shows and screenings in the open air at Habonim Park (by the Tower of David). The highlight will be an impressive concert of the E.T. film by Steven Spielberg, accompanied by the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.
Additionally, some films will be screened free of charge on large trucks that will arrive at all the neighborhoods around the city. The lawn of the Cinematheque will turn into a party venue, with pizzas and cold beer that will be served to the guests until the wee hours.
The Jerusalem Film Festival attracts over 70,000 guests annually and is back on after the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the festival will be held both in the movie theaters and as outdoor screening locations all around the city of Jerusalem.
The Jerusalem Cinematheque invites you to nose-dive into magnificent films. Experience the most exciting, high-quality festival in the country!
