And the award for best supporter of independent cinema goes to …

Come celebrate the biggest night in movies at the Oscars® Viewing Party & Fundraiser this Sunday, March 2. The Independent Picture House’s third-annual awards bash will include a livestream of the 97th Academy Awards — plus trivia, a ballot contest, live music, a silent auction, screenings of Oscars shorts, a chance to connect with local filmmakers and more.

And of course, all the proceeds from the night will help support IPH’s mission to educate, engage and enable the community through the power of film.

The (now sold-out) VIP portion of the evening begins at 4 p.m., while our public viewing party kicks off at 5:30 p.m., before the 7 p.m. ceremony. Attire is flexible — from couture to casual, elegant to expressive, anything goes.

Whether you’re rooting for Anora, Timothée Chalamet, The Brutalist or anything in between, you won’t want to miss this historic night with us. 

Get tickets here to reserve your spot.
