Philadelphia 35mm series opens with a double bill as its current schedule revises Reel October dates

The citywide Reel October programme runs September 30 to October 11, leading into the Philadelphia Film Festival with a dedicated run of 35mm screenings.

Philadelphia Film Society’s current Reel October page lists a September 30–October 11 run of 35mm screenings tied to the 35th Philadelphia Film Festival and the society’s 25th anniversary. Its schedule opened with a September 30 double bill of El Mariachi and Reservoir Dogs , and continues with films including The

White Ribbon , Birth , Speed Racer and The Exorcist . The programme also lists a free 4K screening of Guillermo del Toro’s Cronos on October 9. The current event page gives a different run from the society’s September 11 press release, which said October 1–14 and announced 21 films. No public note explains the change;

the live event page and individual showtimes now place the screenings from September 30 through October 11. Readers should follow the current schedule for dates and tickets. Reel October precedes the main festival, scheduled for October 15–25. The film society describes the series as a citywide celebration of its two

anniversaries and of theatrical celluloid presentation. See the current programme and showtimes and the September 11 announcement for the earlier dates. Headline image: Warner Bros. Italia.
