Thank you to Our Partners

The Wilmington Jewish Film Festival is supported in part by the United Jewish Appeal of Wilmington. We could not do what we do if it was not for the UJA of Wilmington every year.

A big thank you to The City of Wilmington, The Landfall Foundation & The N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural & Cultural Resources for providing grants and resources every year to the festival.
