Thursday, July 9 • 7:00pm - 12:30am
It seems like just yesterday we met in the dark for the very first time – 15 years sure flew by while we were having fun! Join the fiesta as we celebrate QFest’s entry into womanhood!
Be part of our official “Quince Court” by joining us at this exclusive cocktail party for the benefit of the Philadelphia Cinema Alliance.
Prince Music Theater • 7:00 pm
What better film to kick off our birthday bash than
Hollywood je t’aime, the touching story of a cute French guy who comes into his own: He leaves the memories of his ex behind in Paris and heads for LA - where he makes lots of fun new memories. Director
Jason Bushman and star
Chad Allen will answer questions after the film!
Together we’ve watched Chad Allen grow from child star to teen heartthrob to hunky out and proud leading man. We’re thrilled to welcome Allen (who also opened PIGLFF in 2006) back to present him with the
QFest Award for Artistic Achievement at our Opening Night gala! Who better to be the Chambelan (official escort) for our Quinceañera?
Hamilton Hall at The University of the Arts • 10:00pm - 12:30am
No presents are required – only your presence! So waltz on down Broad Street to one of our favorite spots from parties past: The spectacular
Hamilton Hall at UArts (320 S Broad St.) will once again sizzle as the party pumps to fresh house mixes. The bar will be stocked with products from our generous sponsors: Smirnoff Vodka, Bluecoat Gin, Smart Water, Vitamin Water, and wine from Iatesta Imports and World Shippers & Importers (three drink tickets per person) alongside a scrumptious sampling of hors d’oeuvres. Eat cake and raise a toast to our 15th anniversary!
