The Jane Pickens Theater & Event Center (The JPT) hosts the local film premiere of Hundreds of Beavers this Saturday, February 24, at 9 PM.
Hundreds of Beavers is deemed one of the must-see independent films of 2024, earning itself an ever-so-rare 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.
“The JPT is committed to bringing films and events to our local theater for everyone to enjoy. We are incredibly excited to host the local film premiere for Hundreds of Beavers and to give our guests the opportunity to watch a hilarious independent film that has proven to capture the eyes and laughs of silent film buffs as well as people new to the world of silent films, said Alex Whitney, General Manager at The JPT.”
Shot in black-and-white and with virtually no dialogue, Hundreds of Beavers is a love letter to Chaplin, Keaton, and the frontier comedies of the Silent Film Era, but with a thoroughly modern sense of humor and pacing. In this 19th-century supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America’s greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers.

The Zone of Interest is a historical drama that follows the commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife Hedwig, as they strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp.
