The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, one of the most anticipated film festivals in the Southeast, has announced its full 2019 movie lineup. The festival runs from February 6 through February 26, 2019 at various venues in metro Atlanta.

Atlanta Jewish Film Festival announces 2019 movie slate, schedule
In its 19th year, the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival presents 180 screenings, with a decidedly international influence: 76 of the films are from 24 counties. Film lovers can expect a wide and diverse slate when it comes to genre and subject matter, with films delving into such topics as life in Israel, anti-Semitism, the LGBTQ experience, the arts, journalism, social justice issues and more.
The film festival will take place all over town, including at the following locations: Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center, Regal Perimeter Pointe, Regal Atlantic Station, UA Tara Cinemas, and The Woodruff Arts Center.
“We’re proud to bring audiences a lineup that will not only be exhilarating and entertaining but challenging and compelling,” says Kenny Blank, Executive Director of AJFF. “Our filmgoing experience is shaped by the social and political tides of our time, and certainly this year’s lineup includes films that will provoke audiences to think in new ways and see their world in a new light. From dramas that tug on the heartstrings, to comedies that lift our spirits, and documentaries that both inform and entertain, there is a rewarding and enriching movie experience awaiting audiences of all faiths and backgrounds.”
