26th Annual FirstGlance Film Festival

FirstGlance Film Festival, Philadelphia’s longest-running competitive indie film festival, programmed a curated selection of more than 50 new independent films by professional, emerging, and student filmmakers for their 26th annual event.

A fun way to get exposed to a diverse selection of film and festival culture, highlights of the weekend celebration include an opening night “Shot in Philly” program and appearance by Sharon Pinkenson, Executive Director of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office; a matinee featuring female filmmakers; Philadelphia, U.S., and world premieres; filmmaker interviews on the red carpet; parties and networking opportunities; and a live awards ceremony on closing night hosted by award-winning director/filmmaker and FirstGlance alum Raphael Sbarge from the TV series “Once Upon a Time.”
