MovieJawn staff writer, Matthew Crump will be hosting a walking tour in Philadelphia of film locations on Tuesday, November 12 starting at 1pm.

Discover what's beyond the Philadelphia Art Museum steps! Description of the course courtesy of Fleisher Art: If you join this 1.5-mile walking tour of Center City you'll find a film history as old as the medium itself. Our stops on the tour will focus on more independent, underrecognized films in the Philadelphia region while also paying homage to the early inventors of the craft. After finding all the different spots committed to celluloid, the experience will culminate in a brief tour of the Philadelphia Film Center and a short "philm" screening to match! Our goal for the day is to examine and celebrate the film industry of the city's past, present, and future.
