The **UK Jewish Film Festival 2023** is to return to London cinemas from **November 9-19**, with a national tour taking place from N**ovember 9-30** and a selection of films available online from **November** **20-27**.

From retrospective screenings, to fun and insightful documentaries, this year’s **LGBTQ+ Film Programme** will play host to three feature films and a programme of short films examining a broad range of Jewish LGBTQ+ identities. Screening as part of the **Israeli Archive Film Evening** from a new digitally restored print, ***Amazing Grace*** (Israel, 1992) was the last film from director **Amos Guttman**, and is a beautifully observational semi-autobiographical drama about two families, each with a gay son, in Israel in the early 1990s.

Queen of the Deuce

  
**The Rainbow Collection** short films bring together inquisitive, funny and reflective LGBTQ+ voices from America and Israel. Largely made by new filmmakers but with some surprising performances from some well-known American and Israeli actors, these shorts explore different facets of family, love and relationships as their protagonists strive, and succeed, to find their place in the world. ***Queen of the Deuce*** and ***The Consultant*** are also screening as part of the **LGBTQ+ Film Programme**.

Films part of The Rainbow Collection: ***Up in Arms*** (UK premiere, Israel, 2022); ***Belongs to Anat*** (UK premiere, Israel, 2022); ***Happy BirthGay*** (UK premiere, Israel, 2023); ***I Asked Him to Take Me Dancing*** (UK premiere, Israel, 2021); ***I Missed You at Synagogue*** (European premiere, Israel, 2021); ***Diving In*** (UK premiere, USA, 2022); ***No Kissing*** (World premiere, USA, 2023).
