From January 9-24, 2013, The Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Jewish Museum present the 22nd Annual New York Jewish Film Festival. Held at the Film Society’s Walter Reade Theater, this New York festival will feature 45 full length and short films from around the world.

Special presentations from those involved in the films and thought-provoking discussions will follow most screenings.

The festival will feature such films as Hannah Arendt, which will play at the festival’s closing night. Hannah Arendt chronicles the true life story of the acclaimed writer’s experience from a Nazi detention center to the streets of Jerusalem and then to the heart of New York City and has been called “a remarkably successful attempt” by The Hollywood Reporter.

Another highlight is a panel with the Safdie Brothers of Red Bucket Films fame, who will be hosting a viewing and discussion of five of their short films. Audiences will be privy to a screening of their Offical Cannes Selection film, Daddy Longlegs (AKA Go Get Some Rosemary). 

There will also be a number of remastered classics shown such as the films of Franciszka and Stegan Themerson, as well as a host of new documentaries like The Art of Spiegelman, Joe Papp in Five Acts and Neil Barksy’s Koch.

Screenings tickets for a single film cost $13 but are discounted for students and seniors at a rate of $9. For members of the Film Society and Jewish Museum, screening costs are only $8.

If you plan to see the Safdie Brothers double feature, screening on January 13, tickets run $20/$14 (students, seniors, members).

Tickets go on sale December 27th, 2012, online or at the Walter Reade Theater Box Office
