Silicon Valley Jewish Film Festival

Formerly known as the San Jose Jewish Film Festival, the Silicon Valley Jewish Film Festival (SVJFF for short) will bring more Israeli Film and more festive film events that will be screened at various venues in the Valley. This will be accomplished with new partnerships and a strategic change in operations. The SVJFF will back that commitment up by bringing two blockbuster Israeli films to two new venues in February this year. "The Israeli film industry is producing major movies and the Silicon Valley population - including the many Israelis in the area - are a natural audience." says new SVJFF President, Lorin Fink

The strategic changes were made as a result of the Festival's growth and the fact that the day-to-day activities of the Festival throughout the year require professional attention. "I am pleased to announce that Mark Levine, who has been involved with the Festival for ten years, has been named the part-time Executive Director," said Lorin. "Mark has served four years as President and he is uniquely familiar with the needs of the organization and the community." Lisa Ceile-Goldfus, the part-time liaison between the APJCC and the Film Festival continues in her role.
