Golden Door Film festival at Loews

This week we are pleased to be a participating sponsor of the Golden Door International Film Festival of Jersey City in its inaugural year.

It is going to run from Thursday, October 13, through Sunday, October 16.

Festival events will happen at various locations around Jersey City, with the Loew's being a principal venue. We will be the site of both the opening and closing ceremonies, plus various screenings. The closing ceremony will include awards to Festival winners and special awards to the actor Paul Sorvino -- of "Goodfellas" and "Law and Order" fame, plus a whole lot of other character/supporting roles -- and to Leon Gast -- Jersey City native and Academy Award winning director of the 1996 documentary "When We Were Kings."

However please note that there will be no Festival events at the Loew's on Saturday, October 15, as the theater has already been booked for a wedding.

For more information about the screenings and other events, visit the Festival's website at:  http://goldendoorfilmfestival.org.

Also,  if you're interested in joining in and helping out, Friends of the Loew's Event Volunteers do everything from selling the tickets to making the popcorn to showing patrons to their seats and cleaning up the theatre afterwards.

If you are interested in volunteering at this event, email us at loewsjersey@gmail.com or call us at (201) 798-6055.
