Phoenixville Film Festival will host its annual event from Thursday, Sept. 21 – Sunday, Sept. 24 that takes place in the historic Colonial Theatre. The festival is a celebration of independent film that includes film screenings, filmmakers panels and workshops, after-parties, and an awards ceremony.
In its first year ever, the festival is aimed at attracting independent film fans and filmmakers alike. You’ll get to spend four amazing days and nights exchanging ideas, making new contacts, and enjoying some compelling and interesting films encompassing a wide range of tastes.
The mission of the nonprofit Phoenixville Film Festival is to bring artists and audiences closer together through cinematic storytelling. Its goal is to provide a platform for artists to advance their craft, engage with the community, and promote their work.
They believe that film is a powerful medium that can be used to tell stories that matter—stories that inspire us, teach us, make us laugh, or cry, and more. They also know how hard it can be for artists to get their work seen, heard, and appreciated by those who might be interested in it. That’s why they are dedicated to creating opportunities for filmmakers at all levels of experience.
They want you—the filmmaker and the screenwriter —to feel supported by our team and valued by our community. The festival hopes that this will be an opportunity for you to connect with other filmmakers and audiences alike.
The program culminates with an awards ceremony on the last day of the film festival. During that time, awards will be presented for the following categories: Best Feature Film, Best Documentary, Best Short Film, Best Animation Short Film, and more.
