British-Jewish Life on Film

British-Jewish Life on Film comes to the Hyde Park Picture House on Tuesday 1 December, starting at 18:15. It's an evening of brand-new films commissioned by the UK Jewish Film Festival's Film Factory, with stories coming from the length and breadth of the country. The whole thing is a mix of mini-documentaries and short dramas, and the screening is followed by a Q&A.

The line-up is a long one, with ten films in total: King of the Jews, Rambling, Rachel Jone Needs a Boyfriend, Not a Bat-Mitzvah, The Last Jewel, The Dead Parent Club, Oslo Court, Mizrahi Mismatch, The Goyfriend, and Fish, Chips & Faith. The UKJF describe the programme as a way to show the diversity of the Jewish community across the UK, so it's a fair spread of voices rather than one single perspective. The mix of documentary and drama means you'll get a bit of everything in one sitting, and the Q&A afterwards gives you a chance to hear more from the people behind them.

There are a few practical things worth knowing before you book. The screening is rated 12A and runs for about an hour and twenty minutes. If you need an accessible showing, there are toddler-friendly, autism-friendly, audio-described, and captioned screenings available. And if you're unable to pay, free tickets are offered on request by email 48 hours in advance. Tickets are £12 full price and £9 for concessions.
