The fall portion of the Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival ran November 5-19, and it was a huge success.

But the festival includes another component, the popular Documentary & Dialogue series, which is taking place for five consecutive Monday evenings from January 9–February 6.

This year the series, which screens independent documentaries from all over the world, will premiere at the Prince Music Theater. Speakers, including directors, authors, scholars and sometimes the subjects themselves, enhance the screenings with spirited and lively discussions.
