The 18th Annual NH Jewish Film Festival
March 15th – 29th, 2026

The New Hampshire Jewish Film Festival is excited to present both in-theater and virtual screenings of exceptional films from around the world. From March 15 to March 29, enjoy a curated selection of films that promise to entertain, enlighten, and provoke thought. As this is the festival’s “Chai” (Hebrew for “life”) year, many of the films reflect the full spectrum of the human experience of life, capturing stories of joy, struggle, love, and loss.

Through different genres, cultures, and perspectives, these films highlight everyday moments as well as extraordinary events. Together, they create a shared space where audiences can see both their own lives and the lives of others represented on screen.
