Congratulations to the team behind THE RIDE AHEAD on winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Social Issue Documentary!

We were proud to premiere the film at the 2025 Miami Jewish Film Festival and witness firsthand the impact of this moving and inspiring documentary. Co-directed by father-son duo Samuel and Dan Habib, the film offers an honest, humorous, and deeply personal look at Samuel's journey toward independence, meaningful connection, and adult life.

Congratulations to the filmmakers and everyone involved on this well-earned honor!

As the curtain closes on our record-setting 29th Miami Jewish Film Festival, we’re filled with gratitude, pride, and renewed purpose.

This year, more than 70,000 audience members from around the world came together in Miami to celebrate the power of Jewish and Israeli cinema—experiencing 200+ premieres, welcoming 100+ filmmakers, and sharing stories that moved, challenged, and united us.

At a time when antisemitism is rising globally and Jewish and Israeli artists face increasing censorship and exclusion, this Festival stood as more than an event—it stood as a declaration: Jewish stories matter. Israeli voices matter. Artistic freedom matters.

For 29 years, our Miami Jewish Film Festival has been a global home for Jewish and Israeli storytelling, and today that mission feels more urgent than ever. Now we look ahead to our milestone 30th Edition—not just an anniversary, but our boldest chapter yet. A celebration of creativity, unity, and the future of storytelling.

The story of the Miami Jewish Film Festival is still being written, and its future depends on this community. Together, let's make the 30th Edition our most momentous yet!

As Yom HaShoah begins tonight, we remember the six million Jewish victims murdered in the Holocaust, while also holding in our hearts the many other victims of N**i persecution.

We honour the survivors, their courage, and their voices, and we commit to carrying their legacy forward.

Yom HaShoah is a solemn reminder of where hatred and extremism can lead, and of our shared responsibility to confront them, in every form, wherever they appear.

May we never forget.
