PIFF DAYTIME DOCS

The best breakfast is food-for-thought. Ease into your Saturday with an iced coffee and PIFF’s daytime doc offerings at venues throughout the city :


NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER (525 Arch Street)

11:30am - Bailout (85 min) (Documentary - Dir. Sean Fahey)
Fed up with corrupt bailout banks trying to foreclose on them, five Chicagoans drive to Vegas with stacks of cash to give themselves a long overdue bailout of their own.

A feature documentary that explores the causes and effects of America's financial crisis. We discover how politically powerful banks are systemically eliminating America's middle class through fraudulent home foreclosures. An enigma wrapped in Doc hybrid form, Bailout is a social documentary that explores American anger with the Wall Street elites who survive and thrive on government bailouts, fraud, & political corruption.

PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS (118 North Broad Street)

1:00pm – Mixed Tape Five Spot (Documentary)
A short documentary of a very special time in Philadelphia music history. The Black Lily weekly music sessions at the legendary Five Spot.

THE CHAPEL at the First Unitarian Church (2125 Chestnut Street )

1:00pm – Oxygen for the Ears: Living Jazz (94 min) (Music Documentary- Dir. Stefan Immler)
'Oxygen for the Ears: Living Jazz' is a story of the trials and triumphs of jazz in America. Every jazz tune has a starting point - a simple note - from which the music starts its journey and rises. 'Oxygen for the Ears' portrays Washington D.C. as such a departure point for its documentary story, 'Living Jazz'.
