The UK Jewish Film Festival returns to Manchester next month, following a two year break due to the pandemic. Taking place at the Cineworld cinema in Didsbury, Home in the city centre and also the Curzon cinema in Knutsford, it kicks off on November 10.
It will boast a host of internationally celebrated films by Jewish film directors, taking in dramas, comedies and documentary features. The first film, Farewell Mister Haffman directed by Fred Cavaye and released last year, will screen on November 10 at the Cineworld in Didsbury.
The film festival, a northern spin-off of the Jewish Film Festival that began in London over 25 years ago, has been staged in Manchester since 2012. Chair of the Manchester UK Jewish Film Committee Judith Gordon told the Manchester Evening News: “We want to see people in person, in the cinemas again, so they can be entertained and we can all enjoy and experience this festival together.
