Welcome to the show! Festival #10 is seeing the biggest surge in submissions – ever. We are proud to see this happen and can not wait to share our views on the submissions as the year rolls on. You can submit here: Submit to festival #10 for the Early deadline.

We are planning a lot this year and are looking forward to updating the website (long overdue, we know), officially launch the piffFilms ROKU channel, integrate with #PhillyTechWeek even more, as well as announce partners and other ideas.

Last year’s festival was a huge success for us and we are tracking the success of the films. Check out our Facebook account and our Twitter account for regular updates.

Don’t forget – support ALL film festivals and local screenings! The city is thriving with great options and other interesting things concerning film and it’s related fields including technology. Visit a small studio, show up to a networking event, shout it out via #PHLfilm on Twitter. Get involved.

We’ll see you soon! Contact us online by posting a question or a comment. You can stop by the Box Office at 2401 Walnut Street in Philadelphia, PA.

See you out there ~

New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education recommends and distributes the film A Journey into the Holocaust to its 1,200 middle and high schools

* Every NJ teacher can receive a free copy of the Teacher’s Guide created for the film
* Every NJ teacher who uses the film will receive a free screening license
* Every NJ teacher has access to the educator’s only portion of the website

A Journey into the Holocaust, a documentary that attempts to answer why the Holocaust and other genocides happened and why they will continue to happen, has been accepted as an approved program to teach the Holocaust to New Jersey students. “We have approved and are recommending that teachers use this excellent film and Teacher’s Guide to help meet the state’s Holocaust education mandate” expressed New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education Executive Director D. Paul Winkler.

Media Bureau was proud to work on this film in a variety of capacities including producing and edit supervising. Thank you to Director and Writer Paul Bachow for giving us the opportunity to bring our talents to the table. We are honored to have worked on this project.

Welcome to Festival #8!

Submit here:Submit to festival #8.

NEWS ~ We are proud to take part in the upcoming Philly Tech Week April 17th – 25th, 2015. This is a huge move for us and we feel the gap left when the Philadelphia Film Festival left in April to move to October has never been filled. After years of people asking us to do just that – we are thrilled to take the leap. Submit here:Submit to festival #8.

We will screen for 8 days (3 more than previous years) and will have more events planned than usual – daily. These events include product demonstrations, roundtables, discussions, and of course gatherings. We will continue to provide ground floor opportunities to the local and international film community we serve and will never stray from our roots. Some people say we stick to close to our roots, well we do! Access for all is what we think a festival should be and our past years show this is what you all want. We hope to see you out.

Submit here:Submit to festival #8.
