The JCC, a program division of Jewish Nevada, is proud to present the 2026 Jewish Nevada International Film Festival (JNIFF), held from Jan. 24 – Feb. 7, 2026 at various locations throughout Southern Nevada.
This year’s festival will feature 15 films, more than ever before. All films aim to offer a dynamic exploration of the Jewish experience. Audiences will also have the unique opportunity to hear from special guest speakers at most screenings, including filmmakers, producers, comedians, directors and actors.
“This festival celebrates the richness, diversity, and resilience of Jewish life and culture through the transformative power of cinema,” said Jewish Nevada President and CEO Stefanie Tuzman. “By showcasing compelling stories from around the world—past and present—we aim to foster understanding, spark dialogue, and deepen the global appreciation of Jewish identity, heritage, and values.”
The success of any film festival lies in its ability to entertain, educate, and inspire audiences while fostering a sense of togetherness. This year, Las Vegas audiences are expected to continue to grow in both numbers and diversity. In fact, most screenings at the 2025 Jewish Nevada Film Festival sold out—a testament to the festival’s increasing relevance across generations and cultural groups.
As a nonprofit organization, Jewish Nevada is committed to building and sustaining vibrant Jewish life through impactful programs like this festival. According to Neil Popish, JCC Program Director, the success of the Jewish Nevada International Film Festival relies on the passion of community members and the dedication of committee members. This team works tirelessly screening and evaluating films, securing venues, developing marketing campaigns, and forming partnerships with local organizations to bring the vision to life.
The Jewish Nevada International Film Festival’s key sponsors include many local organizations and individuals who are passionate about the Jewish Nevada International Film Festival and the arts.
Individual tickets are available for $12 for JCC members and $18 for non-members. For more information on the event and to buy tickets, visit www.jewishnevada.org/filmfestival.
