The Philadelphia Film Festival is held annually in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Until 2009 it was generally held during the first weeks of April.
In 2007, the Philadelphia Film Festival added a student component, screening the winners of the Greater Philadelphia Student Film Festival.
In 2009 the Film festival shifted its dates from the spring to the fall. A smaller version of the festival, presented as the 18th and 1/2 Philadelphia Film Festival, will take place October 15–19, 2009.
The Philadelphia Film Festival is sponsored by the Philadelphia Film Society.
