How have trends in Jewish film changed over the past 20 years and what does the future hold for women in the industry? We find out at this special event co-hosted with UK Jewish Film, featuring actor and writer Susannah Wise and fellow actor and showrunner Sarah Solemani, who recently adapted Ridley Road for the BBC. Chaired by film writer and professor in film at Bangor University, Nathan Abrams, who penned the film chapter in our new book, Age of Confidence: The New Jewish Culture Wave. This event is in conjunction with UK Jewish Film and forms part of our 20th anniversary year of celebrations.

In celebration of our 20th anniversary, we’ve launched our first book, Age of Confidence: The New Jewish Culture Wave, which comprises five essays by experts in their fields that cover Jewish culture over the last two decades in a period that spans the attacks on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001 to the challenges of creating culture under Covid today. Interspersed with the essays are a series of archive pieces from past magazines, ranging from Mike Leigh on Arnold Wesker to Linda Grant on Saul Bellow, plus an introduction by Howard Jacobson.
