Calling all Philly filmmakers!

Held monthly at the Philadelphia Film Center, Philly Film Showcase is dedicated to screening new short work by talented local filmmakers. The event is intended to give Philly filmmakers the opportunity to share their work with an audience, participate in Q&A's, connect with other local filmmakers, and have fun!

Submissions and attendance are free of charge.

Rules & Terms

***Greater Philadelphia Filmmakers Only***

In order to be considered for Showcase, films must have a strong connection to Philly or the Greater Philadelphia Area. This means that a significant portion of the film should have been made in or around Philly. In some cases, films made outside the area by filmmakers with a strong, current tie to the Philly area may also be considered (though films with a stronger local connection will be given preference).

Please note that programming and the acceptance of submitted films is on a rolling basis to encourage thematically or genre-connected events. Please provide an email contact with your submission that is checked regularly.

Films should have been completed no earlier than January 2021, and should be no longer than 50 minutes.

    This event is monthly and highly recommended for any filmmakers/production teams in the Philadelphia area. Very informative on what an audience is looking for, the Q&A was a great way to communicate directly with viewers.

    This was a great experience. The crowd for my film was intuitive, knowledgeable and just down right good people. Would have liked if I could have got better networking but I know this showcase helped me build my audience.
