Sixties Film Fest

Get far out at the JPT Sixties Film Festival! 10 Films. 7 Days. 1 Fantastic decade of Film. 1960+ reasons to attend.

Transport back to the iconic era of 1960's cinema- in all of its tumultuous, revolutionary, yet forever cool character and style. The 1960s film era was a time of massive change. Old studio rules broke down. New directors made edgy art. Sex, blood, and social protest hit the big screen...

It was the time of "New Hollywood" where artistic mavericks like Mike Nichols, Dennis Hopper, and Sergio Leone challenged the established norms of filmmaking. The decade saw the draconian Hayes Code of moral censorship in cinema die, allowing portrayals of the human condition hitherto only hinted at.

In a deeply divided age marked by political turmoil, the global struggle for civil rights, and social upheaval on an unprecedented scale- there was one uniting force: damn good movies! Many (like Quentin Tarantino) say the 70's or 30's are the best decade of movies ever produced... Obviously (somewhat) subjective, but the 1960's was maybe the most important decade of filmmaking for the doors of craft and creativity it busted wide open.

Choosing just 10 films for this mini-fest was also a tumultuous endeavor, but we've programmed a selection of 10 incredible films that really represent the decade. All of these truly boss films are presented in the best format available:
