Join us for an unforgettable weekend celebrating the rich cultural legacy of the Catskills through the magic of cinema. Experience our curated lineup of films that explore themes related to the Borscht Belt resort era. Engage in lively post-screening discussions with filmmakers, actors, and experts. Connect with fellow enthusiasts and relive cherished memories in the historic Shadowland Stages theatre in Ellenville.
Let the power of cinema transport you to a time when the Catskills were the ultimate summer escape. Our thoughtfully curated selection spans 75 years of cinema history, featuring films unseen for decades alongside exciting new discoveries from 2024. These works will make you laugh, cry, and reminisce about the golden age of the Borscht Belt Resort Era. Whether you grew up spending summers in "the Mountains" or you’re new to Borscht Belt culture, you'll find something to love at our festival!
The Borscht Belt Film Fest is presented by the Catskills Borscht Belt Museum. The museum is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Borscht Belt resort era, and celebrating its history as a refuge from bigotry, the cradle of stand-up comedy and a cultural catalyst that left deep imprints on America. Thank you!
