The 2009 Atlanta Jewish Film Festival (AJFF) was our best film festival to date. We sat over 17,000 moviegoers, hosted 50+ guest speakers to enhance the film experience and expanded the film festival to 68 screenings. We are proud to announce that our Audience Award Winners for this year are The Little Traitor (Best Narrative) and Blessed is the Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Senesh (Best Documentary). We look forward to exploring with you next year, our 10th Annual Film Festival. |

AJFF is a 12-day cinematic exploration of Jewish life, culture and history. Seeking to use the power of film to both entertain and educate, AJFF challenges conventional perspectives on complex and challenging issues facing both the Jewish and global communities.

Founded in 2000, AJFF ranks as the largest film festival in Atlanta, and second largest Jewish film festival in the United States. AJFF attracts an audience of 15,000 moviegoers, and features an international collection of some 50 narrative and documentary films (in both feature and short form) that connect with the Jewish experience. Screenings are supplemented by guest appearances with filmmakers, actors, authors, academics and other expert speakers. |
| Moviegoers cast their ballots for the Best Narrative and Best Documentary film of the festival, with winners receiving the AJFF Audience Award. Winning films are honored with a special encore showing, and the director presented with an original handcrafted AJFF Audience Award statuette. |

The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival is a production of the Atlanta Chapter of American Jewish Committee, an international advocacy organization that works to build bridges of understanding between ethnic, religious and national groups. It is the enduring belief of American Jewish Committee that understanding grows out of shared experiences, and stories are often the best way to foster such experiences. More than just “a night at the movies,” film is contemporary storytelling with the ability to impact the way audiences feel, think and behave after leaving the theater.
AJFF is the past recipient of prestigious grants from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and National Endowment for the Arts, and generously supported by more than 120 other corporate, foundation, government and individual sponsors.
