"THE BEST LAST PLACE"
A fascinating 2022 sequel to the international award-winning "Saving the Burg" (2019), which documented the 30-year comeback of Philipsburg.
"SAVING THE BURG"
Of the many projects the Philipsburg Arts Fund created for the Sesquicentennial of Philipsburg, none was as significant as the one hour documentary film created by Philipsburg filmmaker, Jim Jenner. Called "Saving the Burg" it chronicled our town's resurgence and aired more than a dozen times, statewide, on Montana PBS. This wonderful film will continue to be shown in the years ahead.
