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

This Thursday kicks of Jersey City’s very own Golden Door Film Festival.

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 festivities begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday at the Landmark Loew’s Theater (Journal Square) with an opening Red Carpet Gala and two film screenings: “The Fix” and “Fall to Grace,” a documentary about former Gov. Jim McGreevey (currently in charge of Jersey City’s jobs program).

Friday’s screenings begin at 3pm and continue throughout Saturday and Sunday at different theaters in Jersey City. Again, check the schedule here for films, times and locations.

There will be after-parties all four days to give you the opportunity to mix and mingle with filmmakers, actors and sponsors.

All-access VIP passes are $100 each (all screenings and events) or you can purchase tickets for individual screenings for $10 ($5 student discount) and individual events for $10-$20.
