The JCC Chicago Jewish Film Festival was the homecoming festival for Surviving Skokie. The dedication of the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center was one filmmaker's inspiration and it was an honor to host our festival kickoff screening there to a sold out audience. Due to extremely high demand, the Festival very kindly added additional screenings to accommodate local audiences. The JCC Chicago Film Festival showcases films that reach across age groups for families, young adults, and seniors. It is a no-holds barred approach to diversity and the strong Jewish contributions to world culture.
