The Festival of Tolerance – JFF Zagreb is an annual film festival held in Zagreb, Croatia which is dedicated to the preservation of memories of the Holocaust and raising public awareness about the importance of tolerance.

The festival occurred for the first time in 2007[1][2] under license and in collaboration with the UK Jewish Film Festival.[1] It is organized by a non-profit, non-governmental organization, of which Academy-Award-winner Branko Lustig has been an honorary president.[3] The festival takes place at the Zagreb Cinema Europa, one of the oldest art-cinemas in the area.[4] Its film program includes feature films, documentaries and short films. Since 2009, the festival has organized educational morning programs about The Holocaust for students of different age groups.[5]
