Welcome to Gummfest! Sometime in 2011, a bunch of friends who enjoyed going to #Ebertfest together every spring decided it would be fun to have a film festival in the Gumms' basement in the fall, and Gummfest was born.
Another fantastic year of Gummfest #films is in the books! Special thanks go out to the Peoria Riverfront Museum and their staff for making this a wonderful weekend in the Giant Screen Theater!

We closed last night with La Piscine. Beautiful French people; beautiful French estate; amazing late-60's music, dancing, and decorating; and a touch of murder -- what's ne pas aimer?

Be sure to see the extra ending shot to please the Franco censors 👮

Great timing on this article to line up with the movie @gummfest.bsky.social on Sunday, #becomingHitchcock. Also makes me want to see Kim Novak's Vertigo. Maybe next year's line up @ the Giant Screen Theater?? Only #Gumm knows

It's not Gummfest if there's not a movie about #movies. Becoming Hitchcock: The Legacy of Blackmail is done, and it's time for the food part of "food, friends, and film".

Next up, Thelma at the Giant Screen Theater at 2:30.

That's another great day of #film in the books, closing with one Wardcliffe, shot right here in the #peoria area!

We'll start back up tomorrow at 10 at the house with Becoming Hitchcock: The Legacy of Blackmail, and then it's Thelma at the Peoria Riverfront Museum at 2:30
