In neighborhoods across Philadelphia, Camden, and Chester, hundreds of people gather with lawn chairs and blankets in hand, to enjoy free outdoor independent short films and live performances. 

They prefer entertaining, family friendly, thought provoking films that will evoke progressive ideas and dialogue between neighborhood groups.  Works in all disciplines (including animation, fiction, documentary, experimental) under 30 minutes will be considered.  Topics can include but are not limited to youth, education, the arts, gentrification, Philadelphia-specific themes, family, culture/language, etc. Selected works will receive a rental fee of $35 for up to three screenings.

Deadline: June 15, 2016

For consideration, email a link and a cover letter with the title, total running time, year of production, director, high resolution stills, distributor, and a brief synopsis to Boone Nguyen
