Film lovers in Philadelphia are in for a treat; later this month the city will see the “18 1/2th” Philadelphia Film Festival, with which the festival moves from its traditional springtime dates to a new home later in the calendar. This five-day celebration of film begins on October 15th and tickets are available to the public now!

Speaking of tickets, this festival introduces a new set of features to our Festival Genius software – namely, integrated ticketing brought to you by the Philadelphia-based company TicketLeap. Our partnership with TicketLeap means that instead of jumping off to a separate web site to buy your tickets, you’ll be able to make that purchase within the festival web site and without signing up for a new account with the ticketing provider. (If you’re a festival director interested in B-Side’s integrated ticketing and what it means for Festival Genius, please contact us at festivals@bside.com.) We look forward to providing a better festival experience for more moviegoers in the future through our partnership with TicketLeap.
