Channeling “the rebellious spirit of the Molly Maguires,” the Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival challenges the boldest, most defiant filmmakers to present their work, shatter convention, and incite spirited debate. The festival credo is “eyes and minds wide open,” and they mean it. After canceling last year due to COVID-19, the JTIFF returns to the Mauch Chunk Opera House (14 W. Broadway, Jim Thorpe) for its fourth edition with live, in-person screenings on Thursday, April 22 through Sunday, April 25. That’s right – no glitchy streaming on phones, tablets, or laptops, but real movies projected on a giant screen in the dark with booming sound, the way films were meant to be experienced.
