For the second consecutive year, members of Hamilton’s Jewish community came together at the Ancaster Memorial Arts Centre for a powerful cinematic celebration of Jewish history, culture, and identity.
This year’s festival offered a rich selection of films, documentaries, and engaging Q&A sessions that resonated deeply with attendees. The closing night screening of We Will Dance Again was followed by a heartfelt musical performance that moved many to tears.
“There’s something truly special, healing, and uplifting about a community coming together for a Jewish Film Festival,” said festival organizer Wendy Schneider in her closing remarks. “Especially in the times we’re living through, this shared experience feels more meaningful than ever.”
