A look back: The Summer School at the 31st JFBB
Jewish film in the focus of research and discussion
For the second time, the Jewish Film Festival Berlin Brandenburg (JFBB), together with the Central Council of Jews in Germany, the Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF and the Ernst Ludwig Ehrlich Studienwerk e.V. invited students and doctoral candidates to the JFBB Summer School.
During the festival week from May 6th to 11th 2025, the participants focused on Jewish history, present and film culture - embedded in the JFBB festival programme. Workshops on film aesthetics and history, lectures on Israeli cinema, talks with filmmakers and joint film discussions enabled an intensive examination of the works shown.
The mixture of seminar and festival visit made the Summer School a lively place of learning with encounters between academics, film makers and the audience.
The next Summer School is planned for the 2026 edition of the JFBB.
