After William Friedkin’s 1977 white-knuckle SORCERER introduced the world to the sensually alluring, yet alien electronic soundscapes of Germany’s Tangerine Dream, the band went on to define a wide breadth of cinematic scores throughout the 80s and inspire countless acts to continue the celestial voyage they began. These are those films.

Festival attendees can expect multiple special guest appearances by filmmakers at screenings. From the Centerpiece selections, the festival will welcome RIAN JOHNSON, Director of GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY, and CHINONYE CHUKWU, Director of TILL, both of who will participate in moderated Q&A sessions after their film’s screenings. From the Filmadelphia category, NICK NOLTE will appear with Writer/Director BRANDON ERIC KAMIN on behalf of their new film RITTENHOUSE SQUARE.
