Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) -- The Philadelphia Independent Film Festival taking place
on June 26th - 29th, 2008, will screen 151 independent films from 20
international filmmaking communities. Pennsylvania Governor Edward G.
Rendell calls The Philadelphia Independent Film Festival "one of those
Philadelphia summer events that makes our wonderful state of
Pennsylvania a fun place to visit and vacation."
The Philadelphia Independent Film Festival will showcase films
throughout the historically-radical, artistically-flourishing
neighborhood of Northern Liberties. All screening locations are a short
walking distance of each other: North Bowl, Liberty Lands Park, Arbol
Café, Liberties Walk, Tower Gallery, Media Bureau, & Woodshop Film
Studios. Screenings will be accompanied by stimulating round table and
filmmaker discussions, panels, demonstrations, film critiques, and a
live casting call for a current project. The schedule will be announced
shortly at the film festivals website blog. http://www.philadelphiaindependentfilmfestival.com/blog
With the US Metropolitan City of Philadelphia as its backdrop, the
Philadelphia Independent Film Festival was conceived to become a yearly
meeting of artistic and business community interests that enable and
enhance the innovative, creative, collaborative, and revolutionary
potential of successful film making. With his signature on a $75
million Pennsylvania Film Production Tax Credit Program called Act 55;
Governor Rendell goes on to declare that "Philadelphia is a premiere
movie production destination and has become the Film & TV
production preference for an increasing number of producers and
directors. I want to thank Media Bureau, the producers of the
Philadelphia Independent Film Festival, for choosing the great City of
Philadelphia to launch its annual event and I look forward to having
the film festival in Northern Liberties."
