Armageddon Time to open JIFF
This year’s Jewish International Film Festival will open with the Australian premiere of Armageddon Time, starring Anthony Hopkins, Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong, headlining the biggest JIFF festival to date.
Artistic Director Eddie Tamir said: “We could not be more thrilled to open the festival with this critics’ favourite, a beautiful film with a lot of heart – the emotional impact and story will resonate with audiences universally.”
With the showstopping cast, we could not have thought of a better headliner for the festival, and it is only one of the many amazing films in this iteration of JIFF.”

The full JIFF programme will be released on Friday and the inclusion of James Gray’s film, which received a seven-minute standing ovation at Cannes, hints at the incredible standard of films to come in this special 2022 festival edition.
JIFF will run nationally from 24 October to 7 December, with tickets now on sale for select screenings of Armageddon Time across the country.
