NOTE: We are deeply saddened by the loss of Lightbox FilmCenter / UArts. We have been screening with them for 8 years. We will continue to reach out and work with the film community to help steer this to a better place.

Each year the festival looks at different venues. We have screened films in the open air, warehouse space, Tuttleman IMAX Theater, Ritz Theater, The Constitution Center, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Ethical Society, one of the the first online networks (MBN), the side of buildings, a 19th Century Church, comedy clubs, basements, and many more. We continue to look for such venues, online included (we look forward to seeing you at the beta site darkroom.film), around the globe.

We will be having our annual Philly Tech Week discussions in the filmmakers’ lounge. Check out the incredible High Point Coffee. 

Our discussion hashtags are #AI #Blockchain #PhillyTechWeek #piff #piffFilms #DemocratizeContent #StorytellingintheageofAI. All #Philly handles apply. We are continuing to focus on the interface of the crowd and the #tokenization of #storytelling. We are discussing the crossroads of music, film, technology, propaganda, and culture. All are welcome.

We are excited to be live, streaming, and in the metaverse. Our Social Media channels have all been active for more than 15 years. This years festival is 4 days+, the digital soapbox has returned, filmmaker Q&A is Live and more filmmaker events and discussions are happening (always live) during Philly Tech Week. We hope you enjoy the show. Thank you for being with us for the 18 years and helping create the spirit that drives us on. Oh, and here’s the pre festival 2 for $15 General Admission ticket link ~ early support always helps.
