Happy Holidays to all Philadelphia Independent Film Festival fans and film makers and many good returns in 2013. We are excited to announce that we have launched our updated website for festival #6 prior to 2013! This is a first for us (we have traditionally put the updated site online in February) and we are proud to let you know. We will have a total overhaul as the months go by. Stick with us and tell your friends to subscribe for updates.
Do not forget that this year we have a new Box Office and that is located at 2002 Ludlow Street Philadelphia, Pa 19103. This is the home of Elkman Advertising. Elkman has 3 generations of marketing and PR experience under their belt and we are very excited to work and join forces with them.
We look forward to seeing you all and look forward to 2013.
We'll see you at the festival,

Programming is still going on! We believe we have accomodated EVERYBODY and their requests. That was a tall order. We believe that because of this we were able to get more than 17 film makers here to represent their movies. Thank you.
We have a great variety of speakers for this years festival. As of this writing, many (42 and counting) film makers have commited to speak and discuss their films. We will be posting to this blog this week as it unfolds but have laready been discussing via Twitter at PhilaIndie and on Facebook as you know. We will have many provacative discussions including journalist Jim Marrs , Actor / Philosopher Mark Borkowski , Director DAVID WHITNEY, Musician Chuck Treece, and many more... Panels will include http://Film.org on the future of film, an Animation discussion, and more!

#PUFF Screenings: Drama, Mystery, and Animation with purpose!
Great night...
We watched a series of movies last night that showed a common theme, great Camera work. We also screened 12 animations (We will discuss them later). Their were many comments on the ability of Independent Film to generate good imagery while trying to tell stories. But what was also said was that camera can't save story! Acting also can't be saved by Camera and that a movie is a sum of many, many parts. Their was a lot of disagreement on this ...
Here's 2 discussion points:
Day Labor by Brandon Oneill Kohl is a metaphoric but serious look at immigration. Taken from the Home Depot for cheap labor, the laborer's move about the societies they are hired to work for. With twists and turns, the people we meet on the corner take on a whole new role in their adopted society. This is a great look at a story many people in our immigration challenged society should see. ;)
Yep, the Day Laborer has taken over the set ...
and
Educating Cooper by Bryan Litt. A short story look at a school reporter who's mother has just passed away. Meanwhile, at the same time, he refuses to give into his corrupt / sarcastic Principal who will not print his essay about one of the schools top benefactors. All the while Audrey is running about the school channeling Alley Sheedy. Where does the story go and is it cliche for the older set? If so, does it give you the feeling that these kids are really going through "change" in their lives?
