Lightbox Film Center Launch Party

International House Philadelphia proudly announces its newly renamed film program, Lightbox Film Center, with a Lightbox Launch Party on Thursday, May 18. The evening will include a 25th anniversary screening of the seminal 1990s film Gas Food Lodging, with an appearance by award-winning director Allison Anders, followed by a celebration with music, food and cocktails. The event will be free and open to the public.
With the new name, Lightbox Film Center can distinguish its identity from its parent organization International House Philadelphia, yet the mission remains the same as ever: to advance underrepresented modes and makers of moving image art, build a community around a shared reverence for cinema, and celebrate the projected image as a framework for diverse ideas and perspectives.
