The Phoenixville Film Festival is an annual event that takes place in the historic town of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. It's about 30 minutes outside The City of Philadelphia, and it's hosted at the famous Colonial Theatre. That's right—the same theatre from The 1958 film The Blob starring Steve McQueen.

The festival is a celebration of independent film that includes film screenings, filmmaker's panels, workshops, after-parties, and an awards ceremony.

The festival is aimed at attracting independent film fans and filmmakers. You'll get to spend four amazing days and nights exchanging ideas, making new contacts, and enjoying some compelling and interesting films encompassing a wide range of tastes.
