The International Jewish Film Festival A.C. It is a cultural, apolitical, non-religious and non-profit association. It was created in 2004 with the purpose of promoting a creative dialogue with the cultural plurality of Mexico; through the International Festival of Jewish Cinema in Mexico (FICJM) that carries out exhibitions of cinematographic works that portray the multiple facets of Jewish culture.
