For the second year in a row, JCC MetroWest’s New Jersey Jewish Film Festival is going virtual. (JCC MetroWest)

The following news release comes courtesy of JCC MetroWest. Learn more about posting announcements or events to your local Patch site.
For the second year, JCC MetroWest s New Jersey Jewish Film Festival (NJJFF ) is going virtual. Tickets are now on sale for the 21st annual event, taking place Feb. 28 to March 21.
When the pandemic forced the cancellation of the 20th festival, scheduled for late March last year, organizers quickly shifted gears and succeeded in presenting the landmark NJJFF for home viewing, over the summer. The transition was not without its bumps, said festival director Sarah Diamond, but the experience gained from presenting the movies and discussions digitally has ensured there will be a smoothly streamed and rewarding roster of cinematic programming on the festival s new platform this year.
