Winter’s latest broadside to Washington has notched another snow day for the government and local schools, but hasn’t managed to totally shut down the movies, which is good news for moviegoers looking to catch up on Oscar contenders and winners that might have eluded them so far.  

The 2014 D.C. Jewish Film Festival is in full swing, although it’s had to cancel a couple of screenings, but not all, for Monday. Among the casualties were Monday’s lunchtime talk with Dan Shadur at the Library of Congress about “Before the Revolution,” as well as the screenings of “The Sturgeon Queens” at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington in Rockville, Md., at 7:30 p.m. and “Altina” at the Goethe Institut at 7 p.m. All the other screenings — “Master of a Good Name” at 6:30 p.m. the D.C. JCC and “Nothing Old About This Testament” at 8:30 p.m. at the D.C. JCC, and “Arabani” at the AFI Silver in Silver Spring, Md., are a go. For a complete list of screenings for the festival, go here .  

The AFI Silver also has a pretty good complement of the Oscar winners and contenders on Monday, with showtimes for “12 Years a Slave,” “Her,” “Dallas Buyers Club,” “Nebraska,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Inside Llewyn Davis” and “Philomena.” They’ve also got some repertory fare, such as “The Crimson Pirate” and “Sorry, Wrong Number.”  

Ditto for the E Street Cinema and the Avalon Theater in Chevy Chase (although they’ve canceled shows after 6 p.m. on Monday) and the West End Cinema . The Avalon and West End are showing a bunch of the Oscar shorts.  

So if you thought “Philomena” looked kind of interesting or realize that it’s about time you saw “12 Years a Slave,” or you’re in the mood for a claymation film about a mystical rabbi from 17th Century Eastern Europe,  the snow day’s a perfect time for that, eh?
