Welcome to the 1st Annual Fair Lawn fliXfest Film Festival, which coincides with Fair Lawn's 100th year anniversary. Our mission is to celebrate diverse storytelling through the magic of cinema. fliXfest is dedicated to showcasing a wide range of films that span genres, ethnicities, and subject matters, offering a rich tapestry of human experiences to our audience. From thought-provoking documentaries to engaging narrative features, we hope to provide a platform for filmmakers to share their unique perspectives and narratives, a space "Where Creative Minds Have No Limits".

fliXfest is being hosted in Fair Lawn's neighboring town at the Hawthorne Theater. This historical landmark, which first opened its doors almost 100 years ago in 1928 as a small-town community theater, has served movie-going patrons while supporting its local community. The Hawthorne Theater is the perfect place to show the fliXfest films, complete with a concession stand with popcorn and your favorite snacks.

​Join us as we come together to celebrate the art of filmmaking and the power of storytelling. Whether you're a film enthusiast or simply looking for a captivating experience, our festival promises to entertain, educate, and inspire with its curated selection of films from around the world.

fliXfest is being produced by Stories To Tale, a division of ACM Records, Inc. in association with Living Great Real Estate.
