6th Anniversary Celebration

The Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival Is Coming!

Now in it’s 6th fantastic year, the The Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival returns to the Mauch Chunk Opera House, April 20-23, 2023. Once again, they are proud to invoke the rebellious spirit of the Molly Maguires, inviting the boldest, most defiant filmmakers to screen their work, shatter convention, and inspire spirited debate. Their credo is “Eyes and Minds Wide Open” and they mean it. And for their 6th season, they’ll continue that mission, with live in-person-only screenings of the latest cutting-edge films from around the globe of every genre and description, including a slew of US and Pennsylvania premieres. Saturday at Midnight, continues the controversial *GRINDHOUSE program, so prepare yourselves for a twisted mix of over-the-top films that not only push the envelope but rip it to shreds. *NOTE: No one under 18 will be admitted to the Grindhouse screenings.

In the coming weeks the festival will be announcing the entire festival program including special Opening & Closing Night features, Live Performances presented by GREAT CIRCLES – innovative music partners from Philadelphia, and of course, details about the hottest party of the year –the fabulous FILMMAKERS GALA.
