Friend --
J Street is thrilled to announce our partnership with the Other Israel Film Festival, which will be held virtually this year from December 3-10.
Just like J Street, the Other Israel Film Festival aims to inspire nuanced, empathetic conversations, to challenge perspectives and preconceptions and to drive individuals toward action and understanding. The festival showcases a curation of films and documentaries exploring Israeli and Palestinian stories, as well as panels discussing history, culture, politics and identity.
As part of our partnership, we’re pleased to offer J Street supporters a 20% discount on all tickets at the festival with the coupon code: JStreet20.
This year, J Street is sponsoring two documentary films at the festival. Both are available to stream at any time throughout the festival, with a scheduled Q&A with the filmmakers included in the ticket price.

Of course, our discount code will work for all films available at the festival, including Objector, which follows young Israeli Atalya as she defies her family and takes a stand as a conscientious objector to IDF service; Crossings, which explores the lives soldiers serving at the controversial West Bank checkpoints; and Mayor, a real-life political saga following Musa Hadid, the Christian mayor of Ramallah, during his second term in office.

Friend, as we settle in for a socially distanced holiday season, I hope our partnership with the Other Israel Film Festival helps to entertain, inform and provoke insightful discussions -- all from the safety and comfort of our own homes.
Yours,
