11th Oklahoma Jewish Film Festival
March 23 – 27, 2025
at Circle Cinema
The Oklahoma Jewish Film Festival’s mission is to use the power of compelling stories to bring people of all religions and cultures together to enrich, educate, and entertain about the global Jewish experience. We offer films that bring people together, spark conversations, and combat antisemitism and all forms of hatred. OKJFF includes an educational component, offering a free Holocaust educational film to middle and high school teachers as part of their curriculum teaching students about history, hate, intolerance, and the effects of being a bystander.

Teenage Sonia Warshawski was living in Poland when the German army invaded. Her father and brother were shot, her sister disappeared; she and her mother became slave laborers and were finally deported to a death camp. Now in her nineties, Sonia is a vibrant woman who speaks to students and prison inmates about her story of unimaginable suffering, but also of hope, resilience, and a refusal to hate. An emotional yet charming film, Big Sonia has won countless theatrical awards. She is the ultimate survivor, a bridge between cultures and generations, and her story must never be forgotten.
