Don’t wait; purchase your festival passes today at bendfilm.us2.list-manage.com/track/click.
We’re committed to bringing you an in-person film festival this October. However, we cannot control impeding forces like COVID, so we want to keep flexibility in mind for Festival Pass Sales.

You’ll retain full online access to films and virtual engagements. We hope this gives you peace of mind as you plan for the fest and plan to see you here in person on October 7.

The Truffle Hunters
Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle — which to date has resisted all of modern science’s efforts at cultivation. They’re guided by a secret culture and training passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly trained dogs.

Janus Film Series
Stalker (1979)
“One of the most immersive and rarefied experiences in the history of cinema, Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker embarks on a metaphysical journey through an enigmatic post-apocalyptic landscape. At once a religious allegory, a reflection of contemporary political anxieties and a meditation on film itself — among many other interpretations — Stalker envelops the viewer by opening up a multitude of possible meanings.” — Janus Films
We’ll be screening a film from the Janus Films catalog every Thursday evening.
Catch a classic every week at the Tin Pan!
