Philadelphia, PA, October 27, 2016 --(PR.com)-- FirstGlance Film Festival, Philadelphia’s Independent Film Festival since 1996, brings a weekend of premieres, original and local indie films from the Philadelphia area and around the world together to vie for the title, “Best of the Fest.” The 19th annual festival includes unique screening programs, networking with filmmakers, beer and wine bar, food trucks, cast and crew, after-parties, live filmmaker interviews on the red carpet with Ivonna Cadavar from YouToo America TV, and a filmmaker brunch.

From psychological and supernatural thrillers, horror, romantic comedies and dramas, the selection of films is tight with 37 in all, 20 of which are premieres. Exploring themes including love, disabilities, mental health, relationships, and triumph over adversity, all of the films were chosen based on creativity and execution.
