Park City Film Series

As a non-profit organization in Park City, the Park City Film Series (PCFS) features the “best of the best” when it comes to independent films, documentaries, world and local cinemas.

Since October 1999, the PCFS has operated as an independent business that includes a small group of theaters representing 4% of all theaters nationwide. The film series gives avid movie goers a chance to view independent films that they don’t typically see on commercial movie screens.

Located on 1255 Park Avenue in Park City, the film series returns to the Jim Santy Theater in Park City, and organizers and volunteers are looking forward to an exciting 2016 season. Tickets are available at the door, and you can also purchase them online. General admission is $8.00 and $7.00 for students and seniors. You can also purchase a 10-day punch card for $65.00.

In collaboration with the Park City Library, members of the Park City Film Series engage young readers in the art of story telling through film. These free children’s films take place on the first Thursday of each month at 3:00 p.m. at the Coalville Library. You and your kids can also view them on the first Saturday of each month and the Park City and Kimball Junction Libraries.

The PCFS also features programs for emerging filmmakers.
