 The majestic Loew’s Theater: A hidden gem in Journal Square

Tommy Hilfiger presents Jersey City’s 4th International Golden Door Film Festival, starting with the opening event this Tuesday 9/16.

The film festivities start at the Opening Gala this Thursday with films “Six Letter Word” and “The Odd Way Home” showing at Landmark Loews Theater in Journal Square.

Friday’s screenings begin at 3pm and continue throughout Saturday and Sunday at different theaters in Jersey City. There will be after-parties all four days to give you the opportunity to mix and mingle with filmmakers, actors and fellow JC arts lovers.

More than 60 films will be screened at five locations throughout the city during the four-day fiesta, which connects emerging and famous filmmakers from our great city and beyond.

First things first: Decide what you want to see! Film list for the weekend here. The Red Carpet Galas on Friday and Saturday were a smash last year.

All-access VIP passes are $150 each (all screenings and events) or you can purchase tickets for individual screenings for $10 ($5 student discount) and individual events for $10-$20.
