The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival (AJFF) is celebrating its 25th anniversary! Also, The Temple is celebrating its 10th anniversary collaborating with the Festival and our long-time friends Matthew Bernstein and Bob Barr.

Emory University film scholar Matthew H. Bernstein and Atlanta Jewish Times media correspondent Bob Bahr will return to present their Best Bets at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, Sunday, January 26 at 5pm.

Fresh hot popcorn will be served and we invite you to bring a bottle of wine to share with your table mates (suggest you bring a cork opener!). The Temple will offer water, coffee and tea.

The program, which highlights top choices for films at the festival, will include video previews of the films and a discussion of each choice. The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival is scheduled from February 19 to March 6, 2025 with select titles available to stream March 7 - 16, 2025. It is one of the largest such events in the nation.

Matthew H. Bernstein is Goodrich C. White Professor of Film and Media at Emory University, an internationally recognized film authority and a founding board member of the AJFF. He has also served as a board member of The Temple. Bob Bahr writes regularly about entertainment and media for the Atlanta Jewish Times. He has lectured at The Temple and is a multiple winner of the annual Simon Rockower Awards in American Jewish journalism.
