The Indie Theater Revival Project by IFC Films

Celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year, IFC Films is putting its best films forward to remind Americans why they’ve loved going to the movies for more than a century. IFC Films is encouraging local indie theaters to show select movies from 20 film retrospective series’ drawn from IFC Films’ library of nearly 1,000 films. All are being made available to America’s independent theaters to be played on the big screen where they were meant to be seen as part of the nation’s post-shutdown recovery effort.

Green Light Cinema is proud to show films from IFC Films’ impressive catalog of award-winning movies from today’s biggest talents.
