Move over, Sundance! A new film festival is coming to the city of Brotherly Love.
The Philadelphia Environmental Film Festival will take over the Prince Theater on Earth Day weekend. The range of films highlight some of the most pressing sustainability issues of 2017.
The film festival is founded by Debra Wolf Goldstein, a Philadelphia-based environmental attorney, of West Mt. Airy and Alexandra Drobac Diagne of Wyncote.
“Our region is full of people who are passionate about parks, healthy food, and sustainability. We felt it was high time for Philadelphia to have its own environmental film fest!” says executive director Debra Wolf Goldstein.
What can you watch? The films range from documentaries to fiction, several minutes to full length for all ages.
A few of films we’re looking forward to include:
An inaugural weekend wouldn’t be right without an opening party, eh? All weekend passes will include admission to the Opening Night Dance Party. Dance to funky music spun by WXPN DJ David Dye. (Friday, April 21, 10pm – 11:30pm, upstairs in the Prince Theater’s “Black Box”. Cash bar.)
