“We are incredibly excited and eagerly looking forward to the 32nd Annual Philadelphia Film Festival.

Andrew Greenblatt, CEO & Executive Director of the Philadelphia Film Society. “We believe that every film has the power to affect and inspire, and we can’t wait to share this year’s selection with our devoted audience.”

The program for the 32nd anniversary encompasses an array of extraordinary films spanning numerous genres. The line-up includes the world premiere of STAND UP & SHOUT: SONGS FROM A PHILLY HIGH SCHOOL. Directed by Emmy® winner Amy Schatz and executive produced by Get Lifted Film Co.’s Emmy® and Tony®
Award-winning producer Mike Jackson, EGOT recipient John Legend and Emmy® Award-winning producer and CEO of management and social-impact company Friends at Work Ty Stiklorius, the HBO documentary features Hill-Freedman World Academy (HFWA), a Philadelphia public high school, and their program that encourages students to channel their thoughts, feelings, and dreams into an album of electrifying original songs. Taking place on Friday, October 20th, the Film Center will host a Special Event that will include an exclusive Q&A post-premiere hosted by Fox29’s Anchor & Host Alex Holley with director Amy Schatz, executive producers Jackson and Legend of Get Lifted Film Co. The Festival line-up is curated by the PFF programming team who carefully selects each film from multiple international festivals throughout the year.

“As our audience continues to evolve in a post-lockdown world, so does our programming and I’m excited that our team is able to present one of the most diverse, thoughtful, and exhilarating lineups we’ve ever had,” shared Michael Lerman, Artistic Director & Senior Director of Programming of the Philadelphia Film Society. “We are thrilled to share a repertoire of remarkable storytelling that transcends borders and prompts conversation.”
The Opening Night film will be Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut and 2023 Toronto International Film Festival People’s Choice Award winner AMERICAN FICTION which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes and stars an exceptional cast including Jeffrey Wright, Issa Rae, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Sterling K. Brown on Thursday, October 19th.

The Closing Night film will be SALTBURN on Friday, October 27th. From the Academy Award winning filmmaker Emerald Fennell, the film stars THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN breakthrough actor Barry Keoghan and tells a beautifully wicked tale of privilege and desire featuring an all-star cast of Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver, Archie Madekwe and Carey Mulligan.

Wolfen which shines a long overdue spotlight on the extraordinary man who, alongside giants like the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and Ella Baker, dared to imagine a different world; and THE HOLDOVERS, director Alexander Payne’s New England prep school comedy, reuniting Payne and film star Paul Giamatti.

Additional Festival highlights include the North American premiere of Takeshi Kitano’s KUBI, a story of honor, treason and violence; the United States premiere of Nanni Moretti’s A BRIGHTER TOMORROW; FOE, directed by LION filmmaker Garth Davis that stars Oscar nominees Saoirse Ronan & Paul Mescal in a sci-fi epic that is a haunting exploration of marriage and identity set in an uncertain world; 76th Cannes Festival Award winning films FALLEN LEAVES directed by Aki Kaurismäki (Sakamoto Yugi for BEST SCREENPLAY) and PERFECT DAYS directed by Wim Wenders (Koji Yakusho for BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR);

Yet our grief wants us to slow down to tune in to what it needs with gentle curiosity and care.
Join grief coach and death midwife Naila Francis for this mindful pause — to acknowledge and honor your losses with support, guidance, and the salve of being witnessed in the community.
In this grief care shop, we’ll create room to listen to our hearts through guided visualization, writing, ritual, and group sharing.
All griefs are welcome.
Please bring a journal and a writing instrument.
ABOUT NAILA FRANCIS
Naila Francis is a writer, grief coach, and death midwife. She helps grievers learn to live alongside their grief, seeing it not just as something to get through but as an invitation to more truthful, heart-centered living. Naila also holds space and offers the ritual for many of life’s sacred thresholds, including birth, marriage, and death.
She is a founding member of Salt Trails, a Philadelphia collective making grief public and visible through community rituals, and the co-host of Breathing Wind, a podcast about journeying introspectively through grief.
