FALL FILM FESTIVAL, MovieWorks Cinema
FALL FILM FESTIVAL
MovieWorks Cinema 2023 Fall Film Festival
Festival Dates: October 20 through November 9, 2023
In Memory of Frank... Each year MovieWorks Cinema puts together a film festival to honor the legacy of Frank Londy, the former owner and operator of the Jackson Hole Cinemas, who brought the unique magic and emotional power of “the movies” to this small mountain town for over 45 years. The films in Frank's annual film festival — selfishly named Frank's Fall Film Festival — were carefully selected and reflected his love for cinema, the West, human connection, and, above all else, life.
This Fall, we invite you to enjoy, as Frank would say, “the Magic of the Movies" with a collection of films inspired by Frank's love of cinema and his relentless pursuit of life. These films deserve to be seen where every filmmaker dreams they will be seen — on the big screen. Please join us at the MovieWorks for three weeks of films exploring the human condition and the wonder, joy, grief, greed, uncertainty, and love that are part of living.
See you at the movies!

The Unknown Country
The Unknown Country starts when someone is lost, and something is found. A last minute invitation to her cousin Lainey’s wedding prompts Tana to pack up her grandmother’s Cadillac and journey from Minneapolis to Spearfish, South Dakota. This is just the beginning of Tana’s largely solitary quest with an unknown destination. From the Midwest to the Texas-Mexico border, Tana navigates the complex, post-2016 election social climate, and a natural landscape that is increasingly surreal. Along the way, she bonds with non-actors who are unknown to her yet intrinsically familiar. These real people share the stories that bind them to each other and to the landscape that they have become a part of. At times at ease, and at times on edge on her journey as a woman traveling alone through this unfamiliar landscape, Tana endures the highs and lows of prolonged aimlessness. Her openness to unanticipated connection leads her to Isaac who connects the paths Tana and her grandmother have carved.

Mom and Dad's Nipple Factory
In Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Brian and Randi Johnson are your pretty typical conservative Christian family. With perhaps one exception: Brian is a serial entrepreneur inventing and inventing and inventing new gadgets, partly to make money and partly to satisfy his endless curiosity. But when Randi is diagnosed with breast cancer and endures a unilateral mastectomy, she is dissatisfied with the prosthetics available. So what is Brian to do but secretly create custom nipples for her that impresses even her cancer team. From there, a successful business is launched, with hardly anyone in the family, let alone their community, knowing, until one of the sons-in-law accidentally stumbles on a sample nipple where the towels were supposed to be. With this revelation, mom and dad opened up to their son, director Justinsuperstar, and the result is this charming and heartfelt documentary.
