We are thrilled to announce the Fifth year of the Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival (JTIFF) happening April 21st through the 24th, 2022 at the beautiful Mauch Chunk Opera House in historic Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. Our first four years were such a rousing success, even last year's festival despite COVID, that we're expecting to double the excitement and turnout for our fifth year.
The Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival channels the rebellious spirit of the infamous 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 features and shorts of every genre and budget - from gritty underground and experimental films to traditional narratives and documentaries.
Note that on Saturday night, we'll be continuing our wildly popular "GRINDHOUSE” program. So send us your bloodiest, nastiest and most disturbing films that not only push the envelope, but rip it to shreds!
We're also very pleased to continue our STUDENT FILM PROGRAM and as always, we'll be offering deep discounts for young filmmakers with proof of current enrollment.
