Philadelphia Jewish Film and Media | A Program of The Weitzman

PJFM has operated from The Weitzman’s home on Independence Mall since 2022 – sharing office and event space, collaborating on public programs, building relationships among teams, and preparing for a seamless integration. The Weitzman has been a top sponsor of every PJFM festival and series since 2022, including its highly successful annual film festival. This strategic integration represents the coming together of two respected Philadelphia institutions that have worked closely for years to position the city as a premier destination for Jewish culture, film, scholarship, and dialogue.

“This integration is kismet. It reflects a shared commitment to Jewish storytelling, cultural engagement, and community-building,” says Dan Tadmor, President and CEO of The Weitzman. “By formally bringing PJFM into The Weitzman, we are strengthening our collective ability to present high-quality, thought-provoking film and media programming while ensuring that Philadelphia grows as a top-tier market for Jewish culture.”
