KidFest will be the first of its kind in Philadelphia this year!
Kid Fest will run throughout October and in conjunction with FirstGlance Film Fest Philly TwentyTen on October 14-17 2010.
Our new relationship with The Franklin Institute and the newly remodeled Franklin Theater, which we had the pleasure of screening in last year, has graciously agreed to a proposed idea to the marketing dept to assist them in getting new audiences into the theater during museum hours.
Since the venue is considered a family museum and people travel from across the US and world to come to The Franklin Institute, our normal festival fare is not always fitting, as those of you that have taken part, either as audience or filmmakers are aware. So we decided to open new categories for kid and family friendly films and animation for the first time in our 13 year history.
The venue has agreed to show the films we choose from the entries during museum hours throughout the month of October and market to there many hundred thousands of members.
We believe this is an amazing opportunity to give filmmakers who create family friendly films, both short and features the visibility from audiences you wouldn’t normally find at FirstGlance Film Fest Philly or at most film festivals around the country!
We are excited about the possibility of becoming a potential curator of truly indie films and locally produced films. With the ability to schedule special screenings and offer opportunities for truly indie filmmakers to screen in a beautiful theater in the heart of Center City Philly. We look forward to creating a go to venue for indies in Philadelphia, without having to fourwall a major theater chain!

We look forward to an amazing year in Philly.
Thank you for your continuing support of truly indie films and FirstGlance Philadelphia’s Independent Film Festival since 1996
