Indie Memphis Nights: January 2018 Film Schedule

Movie lovers, rejoice! Following the huge success of its 20th annual film festival, Indie Memphis has no plans to slow down with its film programming in 2018. In fact, this year they plan to expand the "Indie Wednesdays" movie nights and offer screenings of about 100 different films. They're calling it Indie Nights. 

Most of the movies are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and are split between several venues. Most of the movies are $10+ fees and you can buy tickets at IndieMemphis.com. Some of the screenings are PWYC. Indie Memphis is also partnering with Black Lodge Video and arts group The CLTV to help host the films series.
