The Nashville Film Festival and International Black Film Festival have come and gone — but the season isn’t over just yet.

We’re shining the spotlight on the 24th annual Nashville Jewish Film Festival, which showcases eight screenings across three Music City venues beginning Tuesday, Oct. 15. Bonus: This year’s lineup also includes virtual showings of “Shoshana” (Oct. 22-24) and “Home” (Nov. 4-6).

A ticketed dinner at AB kicks off festivities before the opening night screening of “Remembering Gene Wilder” starts at 7 p.m. inside Belcourt Theatre. The documentary looks closely at the “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” actor’s life and career, from his Milwaukee roots and marriage to Gilda Radner to early stage work and collaborations.

Review the full schedule, then purchase individual tickets that begin at $12.
