The Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival channels the rebellious spirit of the Molly Maguires, welcoming the boldest, most defiant filmmakers to present their work, shatter convention and incite spirited debate. Our credo is “eyes and minds wide open” and we mean it.
We welcome films of every genre and budget, from gritty underground and experimental fare to “well-funded” traditional works. Also, on Friday and Saturday nights, we will present a special “Midnight Movie” program. So send us your bloody best!
