The 27th Anniversary Edition of the American Sephardi Federation’s New York Sephardic Jewish Film Festival will be held from June 8 to 15, 2025, at the ASF – Center for Jewish History, located at 15 West 16th Street, near Union Square. Through the poignant medium of film, the NYSJFF provides viewers with an understanding of the rich mosaic culture of Jews from the Middle East and greater Sephardic Diaspora.

This year, as part of the inaugural Festival Sefarad NYC, the Opening Night (June 8) and Closing Night (June 15) will be held at the iconic El Museo del Barrio, adding a spectacular backdrop to these landmark events.

Contemporary voices steeped in history and tradition are celebrated throughout this week-long series of events, including première screenings, intriguing stories, powerful documentaries, director Q&As, and The Pomegranate Awards Ceremony.
