The Jackson Hole Film Festival has added a number of additional films to this year’s edition, including setting Craig Brewer’s Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman starrer Song Sung Blue as its closing night film.
The festival, the third edition of which will take place from Dec. 11-14 in Jackson, Wyoming, is presented in collaboration with the Hamptons International Film Festival and was founded by Hamptons festival chair emeritus and former Silvercup Studios owner Stuart Suna, who lives in Jackson Hole. The films are all selected by Hamptons festival chief creative officer David Nugent.
The festival will open with Orlando von Einsiedel’s The Cycle of Love, with the director in attendance for a post-screening conversation, and has also added a screening of Sunset Marquis doc If These Walls Could Rock, with Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx, also a Jackson Hole Film Festival board member, leading an introduction and post-screening conversation with filmmakers Tyler Measom and Craig A. Williams. The doc about the West Hollywood hideaway features interviews with Ringo Starr, Slash, Cyndi Lauper, Morrissey and Dave Grohl, among others.
Additional films added to this year’s lineup include Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value and Max Walker-Silverman’s Rebuilding, starring Josh O’Connor and Meghann Fahy.
These movies join previously announced Jackson Hole festival titles Jared Isaac’s An Autumn Summer, Tony Benna’s André is an Idiot, Katie Jacobs’ Artists in Residence, Libby Ewing’s Charliebird, Jon Klaczkiewicz’s Swift. Silent. Deep and short films David Byar’s Inaccessible, Kayla Arend’s #Melissa and An Ocean’s Dream of Itself: The Making of a World Premiere, directed by the Grand Teton Music Festival.
This year’s Jackson Hole Film Festival program is a curated selection of films that celebrate adventure, creativity and the human experience.
