Philadelphia Film Project Mural Paint Day

April 12 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Mural Arts, BlackStar, and PFS launched a new mural project celebrating Philly’s vibrant film community.

In 2023 talks between Mural Arts Philadelphia, BlackStar Film Festival and the Philadelphia Film Center seeded an exciting new mural project celebrating the Philadelphia Film Community. To create the list of films and organizations featured, a public survey asked Philadelphians which films, and organizations impacted them the most. We also created an advisory panel made up of representatives from BlackStar Film Festival, PhillyCAM, Scribe Video Center, Philadelphia Film and others to advance the work. The group met over the course of a year looking at survey responses, selecting an artist and advancing the project. The result is a vibrant new mural designed by Marian Bailey that will adorn the Sansom Street side of the Philadelphia Film Center. As the film community is massive and has spanned many years, the mural focuses on some of the key films and film related organizations that have impacted filmmaking, film presentation and film-related training in Philadelphia. On April 12th, please join us to help paint the mural!
