A pivot, an exit, some mis-direction & Friday reflections
The 2026 Atlanta Jewish Film Festival will kick off Wednesday with a party and viewing of “Once Upon My Mother” at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center.
The 26th annual event will span nearly two weeks from Feb. 18 to March 15 with screenings, commentary and special appearances.
“The 26th annual festival marks a monumental moment as we both launch a full season of ATL Jewish Film programming, and begin our second quarter-century,” said Kenny Blank, executive and artistic director, in a news release. “Our films invite reflection, conversation, and connection long after the credits roll, and we’re proud to share them with audiences across Atlanta and throughout Georgia.”
The festival will feature films from 20 countries including 49 feature films and 16 short films. There will also be three world premieres, four North American premieres and seven regional premieres.
Other key events include Films Responding to the Aftermath of October 7, Young Professionals Night and Spotlight Screening of Sixty Six. “I Have Sinned,” “The Future Awaits” and “Proud Jewish Boy” will be screened at the event.
Festival goers may also see appearances from Jennifer Westfeldt, Jill Kargman, Matthew Shear, Nancy Spielberg and Regina Spektor.
Tickets and memberships can be purchased at AJFF.org.

Event festival Georgia things to do
National morning drive radio and television star Stephanie Miller hosts The Stephanie Miller Show, reaching over six million listeners weekly on satellite and terrestrial radio, simulcast on FreeSpeech TV. A ratings powerhouse who dominated at KABC, KFI, and stations in New York and Chicago, she's been ranked on Talkers Magazine's "Heavy Hundred" for over a decade and won their Woman of the Year Award. Her sold-out Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour became the fastest-selling comedy tour in history, earning three Pollstar nominations and producing America's #1 comedy album. Praised by Rachel Maddow as "the high priestess of excellent liberal talk" and by Carol Burnett as "the Carol Burnett of radio," this Liberal icon—ironically the daughter of Barry Goldwater's 1964 VP running mate—is known as "The Voice of The Resistance."
