A Legacy of Film and Music Returns
Fifteen years ago, history was made. The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival (AJFF) partnered with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) to present a groundbreaking event—the first major orchestral concert devoted entirely to Jewish-themed film scores. Despite treacherous weather conditions, the concert played to a sold-out audience, reaffirming the power of film and music to bring people together.
Now, in celebration of AJFF’s 25th anniversary, this extraordinary partnership is returning with a world-class Gala Concert on October 20 at Atlanta Symphony Hall. The event will feature legendary film scores performed live by the ASO, weaving together the rich musical and cinematic heritage of Jewish storytelling. Hosting the evening is none other than TCM’s Ben Mankiewicz, a longtime supporter of AJFF and an expert in classic cinema.
