Atlanta Jewish Film Festival – Shorts Program 2 (2026)

Craft, Faith, and Inner Voice: Across generations, creation and belief become acts of expression, testing conscience, care, and moral resolve.

• That’s How You Make a Torah – Pioneering scribes reclaim an ancient craft as they train to write sacred scrolls, in this inspiring journey of faith and feminist resilience within a ritual once closed to them.
• It Might Even Be Real – An Israeli animator blends cinematic illusion with introspection to show how shifting images spark hope amid a fraught reality, in this Haifa Film Festival Best Animation winner.
• The Niggun – In this Holocaust-era tale, illuminated by haunting atmosphere and Yiddish cadence, a ghetto rabbi makes an agonizing moral choice by turning faith into a final act of defiance.
• Beshert – In a Leeds care home, a reluctant Bar Mitzvah boy and cynical resident’s standoffishness unexpectedly blossoms into a warm, deeply moving exchange of faith, family, and belonging.
