‘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

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.

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.
