Curated Programming Lineup!

The 33rd Philadelphia Film Festival is right around the corner, but we’re still speed racing curated programming at a Mach 5 pace—setting the course with many nightmare-fueled Halloween hits, political narratives to get your gears turning, and auteur-driven films to send off 2024 with a bang.

The Philadelphia Film Society (PFS) is the region’s home for classic and contemporary film presentation, education, entertainment, and community building. A nonprofit, community-supported organization, PFS produces the acclaimed Philadelphia Film Festival, curates an extensive year-round film program celebrating the past and future of world cinema, and provides education and community outreach programs, all serving to raise awareness of film as an important art form and vital piece of Philadelphia’s arts and culture community.

Discover our thoughtfully curated Film Series, presenting new films handpicked by the PFS Programming team and announced seasonally. Buy individual tickets or opt for ticket bundles for current limited series screenings!
