'Deis Flicks

In collaboration with the National Center for Jewish Film on the Brandeis campus, the Brandeis National Committee has assembled a lending library of DVDs.

The 'Deis Flicks collection includes both the work of modern independent filmmakers and archival materials. Together they represent a visual record of the Jewish people in all of their vibrancy and diversity. Please explore our exciting array of films below.

Rental Fee

The rental fee for each DVD in the 'Deis Flicks collection is $20, plus $1 per person (minimum of $20) to cover NCJF's public performance fee. Proceeds from screenings are paid to the NCJF and shared with the filmmakers.
