This Wednesday kicks off Philadelphia's 4th annual Independent Film Festival. The week long (June 22 - 26th) showcase will feature over 100 screenings covering every genre of film you can imagine.
There are many first time film makers and some names you might even recognize. Most of the submissions have come to us via post from all over the world. No solicitations. Others have come from within our eco-system.
