90 World Class films of every description plus live music and parties packed into America’s most charming Victorian town. It’s a destination event like no other!

For our 8th incredible season, we 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.

And once again, we will join forces with Philly-based music collective, GREAT CIRCLES, who'll be bringing you the freshest talent as part of our LIVE MUSIC program.

The 8th year of JTIFF is guaranteed to be bigger and better than ever, so strap yourself in and get ready for a thrilling ride.
