Shooting Wall Fall Screening Series at PhilaMOCA

Greetings Soldiers and Cinephiles,

Shooting Wall is happy to announce our Fall 2012 Film Screening Series to be held at PhilaMOCA. We will be holding screenings one Monday a month between September and November. We will be screening a mixture of short film and feature all made completely independently and mainly local. The last feature screened, in November, will also feature a live musical score! As always, the screenings are completely free and open to anyone. This series will act as a precursors to our 2nd Annual Film Festival to be held again in May. We also hope this series gives local and independent filmmakers a space to screen their films and a place for local cinephiles to see new and cutting edge cinema that they won't be able to see anywhere else. Also, we are finishing up Shooting Wall Issue #5 now, which should be out shortly. Stay tuned! The list of the films and the dates are below. Be sure to look for our booklet which should also be out shortly for more information about the films.
