Wilmington Jewish Film Festival
partnering with UNCW
Many thanks to UNCW and to everyone who attended the September 17 screening of Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire. We were honored to partner with UNCW Honor College and College of Humanities, Social Sciences and the Arts to bring this special film event to a multi-generational audience. More than 700 people attended, about half were students. Following the screening, filmmaker, Oren Rudavsky, connected with the audience via Zoom to share insights and answer questions.
We are grateful to the Alfred and Anita Schnog Family Foundation for underwriting the film and to Dean Stephanie Caulder, Dr. Eva Mehl and Katie Crosby for their invaluable involvement and support.
Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire is currently showing in the New York City area and will open in Los Angeles in early October before expanding to theaters nationwide. If you missed the Wilmington event, the film will be shown in Raleigh on February 12 with filmmaker Oren Rudavsky appearing in person. We will share more details as they become available.

Our Mission
The Wilmington Jewish Film Festival has as its primary mission the presentation of films with Jewish content to advance and share common interests within the Jewish community and, at the same time, to share our heritage with the general public.
The festival seeks to offer quality entertainment that will create an ongoing vehicle for the Wilmington Jewish Community to strengthen its cultural foundation, promote diversity through higher visibility in the area, and grow Wilmington’s reputation as a culturally vibrant Jewish community.
