In a moment when the world feels sharply divided, the 2026 Portland Jewish Film Festival invites audiences to gather together and see one another more fully through the power of story. Presented by the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education (in partnership with PAM CUT), this year’s festival highlights films that widen our lens on identity, memory, conflict, and care, while reminding us that our shared humanity remains the most compelling narrative of all.
Individual tickets available January 12. Beginning January 5, pass holders can access advance tickets by logging in.

PJFF FAQ
Why do I need a ticket if I have a pass?
We require passholders to reserve a ticket so that we may communicate the audience count, venue capacity, and event expectations with the venue and our staff. There is no additional cost to reserve a ticket.
Are Arts for All tickets available?
Yes, please email pjff@ojmche.org to request an Arts for All ticket.
(THE DISCOUNT CODE IS – 2026arts4all-pjff )
Is there a rush line?
There is no traditional rush line set aside, but we will sell tickets at the door until the theater has met capacity.
Will you offer any of the films virtually?
Yes, however, because of distribution and streaming restrictions, we cannot offer all festival films virtually. You can find the list of films available virtually here. Virtual film tickets will be available for the run of the festival, February 24 through March 1. Ticket holders will have seven days from February 24 to begin watching a specific film. Once you begin watching, you will have 48 hours to complete watching that film.
How can I watch a movie virtually?
Virtual film screenings tickets can be purchased individually ($10) or as a pass – either the Virtual-Viewer pass ($35), and the All-Access pass ($125 – with discounts available. Virtual films can be watched starting February 24 at 12am PST.
To watch, go to the Portland Jewish Film Festival’s website and navigate to the Virtual Screenings guide. From here, login into your Eventive account if you already have one associated with a festival pass. If you do not have an account, you will be prompted to create one upon checkout.
Select the title you wish you watch to reserve or purchase a ticket. Once you click “Watch now” you’ll have unlimited access to the film for 48 hours. Virtual screening tickets can be reserved until Sunday, March 1 at 11:59pm PST.
What accessibility options do the theater venues offer?
All venues are wheelchair accessible and when possible, films will include closed captioning in English. Please inquire with pjff@ojmche.org if you have more specific questions.
What security measures will be in place?
Following OJMCHE security guidelines, we will be working with a security team to complete a bag search at the entrance of each venue. Weapons of any type are strictly prohibited in the venue, including guns and knives (even pocket knives). OJMCHE reserves the right to refuse entry. Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and assistance in helping keep our communities safe.
What parking is available at each venue?
While there is no dedicated parking lot, each venue has street parking in the surrounding neighborhood. We recommend arriving a bit early to find space.
How are your films selected?
Our selection committee consists of local filmmakers and community members. Films are chosen based on a variety of factors including a connection to the OJMCHE’s mission and values.
Does PJFF accept submissions for consideration and if so when can one submit a film?
The festival currently does not provide the opportunity for filmmakers to submit their films for consideration; however, this might change in the future. If you are interested in keeping up to date on the festival’s submission policy, please sign up for our email list.
