Jewish Film Festival 2023

We are happy to announce Yes! we are having the 13th Ajijic Jewish Film Festival at the Cine+Lago theater (renamed from CineMagic) in the Bugambilias Plaza on the Carretera. It will begin on 8 January 2023 and run for eight consecutive Sundays.

Proof of vaccination will not be required this year. All patrons are encouraged to bring and use a facemask for your own added safety. As was true last year, all theater staff are vaccinated and each Sala has its own independent air circulation system to the outside roof.

We are offering seasonal RESERVED SEATING to make life a little easier for all and to minimize the need to queue in the lobby before a performance.

RESERVED TICKETS will be sold as follows:
Mon 19 Dec 2022 –7pm – Gosha’s restaurant on the Carretera – Special early sales
date for those attending the LCJC Channukah party (don’t forget to bring your pesos)
Mon 26 Dec 2022 – 10 am – 12 pm – Black Coffee in San Antonio on the Carretera

Why buy reserved tickets?
     1 – 200 peso discount if purchased by or during the opening show on 8 January
     2 – No need to queue up early to get a good seat. Your excellently located seat will be reserved for all the shows.
     3 – And do not worry if you have a season ticket and miss one of the shows – just bring an appropriately sized thumb drive by the end of the JFF to get a copy of shows you might have missed (10 GB per film).

Michael Sullivan will oversee sales on 19 December at the Channukah party.
Subsequent sales will be overseen by Maureen Davis at the dates, times, and locations shown above. No need to contact Maureen beforehand – just show up. Season tickets
are 1000p each.

Maureen Sullivan, LCJC President, says: “This is the best set of movies we have ever presented. Each film offers a new and different perspective of the past and present of the Jewish people. Yet the stories apply to us all.”
