An announcement of upcoming coverage
It’s that time of the year again: Festival Season, where everyone starts putting out the “good movies” in the hopes of getting award attention and we all get to learn what’s going to get held back another year. I, for one, could not be more delighted to be back at the Philadelphia Film Festival especially considering the state of, well… everything nowadays. Thanks to both a surplus of free time because of the job market and a press badge (thank you PFS!), I will once again be shoving as many films in front of my eyeballs as humanly possible.
And check out the heavy hitters we got this year: Jafar Panahi! Yorgos Lianthimos! Park Chan-Wook! Mary Bronstein! Chloe Zhao! It gets to a point where I’m glad I managed to catch one of the titles (Lesbian Space Princess) on a screener if only to clear up my schedule for a bit. That schedule was formed a tiny bit last minute due to me waiting on the mail for my program, as well as trying to figure out which ones I need to prioritize and whether I’ll be able to jump on some RSVPs late. For this year, I’m going to do daily blog posts that I’ll try to put up by noon each subsequent day. My goal for this year is to try and make them short, in part for my own sanity since I have some other assignments brewing, but also on the off chance I get an official review commissioned later. So join me, won’t you? As we explore the 34th Annual Philadelphia Film Festival.
Schedule follows below. Some of the gaps will probably be filled in later in the week, while others may be forfeit for reasons of rest or overlap.
