Virtual screenings are listed on this spotlight page. (A special All-Access Badge will be available for $249 apiece, good for all films and special events.) Note: virtual screenings can only be viewed from Florida.

This year's lineup showcases international premieres and archival classics featured in more than 100 entries in the following categories:

  • French Cinema
  • Israeli Cinema
  • Ibero-American Cinema
  • New Documentary Cinema
  • Focus on Dance
  • Film and the Holocaust
  • Short Film Competition
  • Films in English with Closed Captioning

What's new this year: CC for the hearing impaired

The Miami Jewish Film Festival has launched a new initiative that is dedicated to creating closed captioning for English language films premiering online through its virtual festival. By providing closed captioning to each of these films, MJFF will enable people with hearing and other disabilities to have better access to the virtual movies shown.
