ALOHA!

2008 brings you the 6th edition the Backseat Film Festival!  We are very proud of all the great rock ‘n roll movies we’ve been lucky enough to show over the years, and we are looking forward to this year’s movies.  Once again, we'll be screening shorts, features, documentaries, animations, music videos and everything in between.  Student films and local stuff too!

And true to form, we'll be hosting loads of special events and after-parties during the festival at nearby venues.

Following this year’s flagship Philadelphia event and Award Ceremony in March 2008, the Backseat Film Festival will again be traveling to several other cities, bringing with it past festival award winners and new submissions alike.

NEW movie theater to open in Philly!
After years of searching for the perfect venue, we at the Backseat Film Festival have announced the opening of our very own theater in beautiful Northern Liberties, Philadelphia. You may remember it as the same space we've held our last 2 Philly festivals, and now we're gearing up to open it full-time as a theater primarily for first-run, independent feature films, giving us the opportunity to show a much broader range of movies, with full theatrical runs throughout the year. Check out the calendar, press clippings, a virtual walkthrough and much more at www.941theater.com. And don't worry...the Backseat Film Festival will be back in Philly next year with all the rock 'n roll movies and free booze you can handle!
