Support the Festival
Independent festivals rely on community support. Your donation helps bring filmmakers to Tokyo, subsidize student access, and keep stories on screen.
We don't profit from this — every contribution goes back into the festival and the filmmakers we champion.
Make a DonationWe don't do this for profit. The Tokyo Jewish Film Festival is a labor of love for the filmmakers and their stories — and we dream of a day when their art can earn them a living.
