Orange County International Jewish Film Festival - Form

Now in its 36th season, the OCJFF showcases Jewish-themed feature and documentary films from November through April. Founded by University Synagogue, the festival welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds.

Hybrid Film Festival Process

The Film Festival will begin Sunday, November 9, 2025, in person, at University Synagogue, and runs through April 2026.
This year we will follow a hybrid film festival format, with several films shown at University Synagogue with bagel breakfasts on select Sundays, and other films available online to enjoy from home.
Pricing: We offer the entire series for $100. If you would like to purchase the films individually, tickets cost $15 per household when the showing is online and $15 per person when the showing is onsite at University Synagogue.
Registration will be available until two days prior to each film showing.
Payments are non-refundable.
For in person films: Please join us at 9am at University Synagogue for a bagel breakfast, film screening, and discussion.
For online films: The film link and password will be emailed to all registrants one day prior to the film showing, along with the Zoom link for the discussion.
- Each online film will be available to view for a 48 hour period. Access begins at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday morning and will continue through Wednesday until 11:59 p.m.
- If you do not receive the film link by 3:00 p.m. one day prior to the film, please email marketing@universitysynagogue.org or swmma107@aol.com.
