The Philadelphia Film Society is proud to announce that their free ticketing program, PFS on Us, will continue for the 31st Philadelphia Film Festival.
As in past years, PFS on Us will increase Festival accessibility for the Philadelphia community by providing complimentary tickets to select films curated by the programming team. This year’s program includes a Special Event and titles in the World View, From The Vaults, Made in USA, Green Screen, and State of the Union categories.
“PFS On Us is a cornerstone at the Philadelphia Film Festival. As we have expanded this initiative to be year round through our monthly Community Screenings program, we have seen time and again the value of working with our community partners to offer accessible events to our neighbors,” said Kyrie Fisher, Community Engagement Manager of the Philadelphia Film Society. “This Festival season we have some remarkable stories in our PFS On Us lineup, including not just our entire State of the Union sidebar, but also a diverse selection from the rest of the program – allowing us to ensure that there are options for a wide range of Philadelphians to come out and join us at the movies!”
Dates, times, and locations for each title are available at https://filmadelphia.org/festival/.
