Valentine's Day Marathon
@ The PhilaMOCA
The Goal of the Festival
This is inspired by the film 50 Kisses, in which 50 directors/writers came together to create an anthology of romantic Valentine's themed shorts. The goal for this festival is not only to showcase shorts from filmmakers all over the world, but also to compile them into an anthology film.
Event Details
Join us at the Philamoca for a collection of shorts by filmmakers from all over the globe! Any and every genre - shot in 4k or by your older sister's flip phone - all the films are joined by one theme!
