Jippie No More!

This 90-minute Danish drama follows lively 16-year-old Jaap Peter—known as Jippie—as his family prepares for his older sister’s wedding at their grandfather’s country home. While everyone works to create the celebration, Jippie experiences first love and plans an ambitious karaoke dance performance. Amid the commotion and quieter family moments, he begins to understand how much his presence and his family’s close bond matter.

Planning your visit

Admission is free, but advance tickets are required and distributed first come, first served. A ticket does not guarantee admission: guests checking in less than 15 minutes before showtime may be moved to the waitlist, and ticket holders should be seated at least five minutes before the film begins. An in-person waitlist is available when online tickets are gone. Enter the screening room from the west side of the building along 400 West.

ADA accommodations are available. Utah Film Center’s accessibility resources include assistive-listening devices, captioned screenings, noise-dampening headsets for children and adults, accessible parking, seating and restrooms, and access for registered support animals. Families needing another accommodation or information about sensory-friendly options can use the organizer’s accessibility request information.
