cinèSPEAK Announces Fall Programs

PHILADELPHIA, PA - In 2013, Sarah Mueller saw a need for a space focused on stories of individuals and communities often underrepresented in mainstream cinema. That is when she created cinèSPEAK, a Philadelphia-based art house cinema that engages diverse audiences through its globally-minded contemporary and repertory independent film programming. They encourage people to demand social justice both on-screen and throughout society.

‘We, at cinéSPEAK, are delighted to kick off another robust season featuring six pop-up programs in September and October (with more to come in November and December!)—showcasing genre-defying films from France, Lebanon, New Zealand, Senegal, and the U.S.; from contemporary independent film festival darlings to ground-breaking masterpieces from the canon, like Bill Gunn’s Ganja and Hess. — Sarah Mueller, Executive Director and Founder, cinéSPEAK

cinèSPEAK’s fall programs begin in September with two captivating films. On September 23, 2022, Ayoka Chenzira’s Alma’s Rainbow will be shown at Pentridge Station Pop-Up - 5110-5120 Pentridge St, Philadelphia, PA 19143. It is a coming-of-age comedy-drama about three Black women living in Brooklyn. Then, on September 29, 2022, Chloé Mazlo’s Skies Of Lebanon will be shown at Ginkgo Lawn at Bartram’s Garden - 5400 Lindbergh Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19143. The film combines live action with animation to create a vivid picture of Lebanon, inspired by the filmmaker's family history.
