Reviews of Philadelphia Film Center
"There are so many things to love about this theater. It's one of those old school "event cinema" venues, ideal for film festivals (like the Philadelphia Film Festival held here). The theater is also home to the Philadelphia Film Society, run by people who love and appreciate all aspects of a good cinema experience. As such, the Film Center has incredible sound design, top-tier projection, and a taught, clean screen. The staff here is also super friendly and solution's-oriented. There were a few instances in which I faced ticket purchasing issues, and the staff always went above and beyond to address them. Some downsides: They sometimes don't answer the phone or respond to emails (especially around festival times), the theater doesn't have precise blackout panels to match a film's aspect ratio (so films aren't always masked properly with the manual side curtains), and you won't find comfortable recliners here. But these cons are slight in comparison to the experience you get (right in Center City, to boot). I wish I lived closer to Philly so I could take fuller advantage of the Film Center's offerings. Regardless, as long as this theater keeps showing film classics on film and digital 4k, I'll remain a loyal patron!"
"Oppenheimer! Amazing. A nice little cinema but at times the image did seem to be a little out of focus."
"Biggest indoor movie screen in Philly! As Philly Film Society members, we've enjoyed watching classic and new release films in this comfy, renovated theater. Movie prices are reasonable and the staff/PFS volunteers who support the events are friendly and helpful. The theater is close to the Broad Street line and City Hall. The Center also hosts film festivals to support independent filmmakers, plus the Environmental Film Festival."
"A wonderful new venue for the Philadelphia Film Festival! They’re following strict COVID precautions and the programming is stellar! Check out “Krimes” on Sat, Oct 30th at the Drive In! @Krimesfilm @PhilaFilmSociety"
"This gem of an independent theatre is not too large but it is clean and professionally run. I attended a special presentation in one of the theaters and was impressed by the staff and facilities."
