More about the South Side Film Fest:

If you’ve never attended the SSFF, you’re in for a treat.  This festival of Independent Film has, in its first 8 years, screened 750 films representing 70 countries and 40 states - to paraphrase, “attend locally and be exposed globally”!  70 films will be screened multiple times over the Festival’s five days ending with a Closing Night Party, at 9pm on Saturday, June 16, at the Gander II Room at 102 W 4th Street ($10).

Opening Night and Friday’s Late Night films are $10; all other films are
$5. The other two venues are Lehigh’s Whitaker Lab Auditorium and the Victory Firehouse at Webster and Columbia - one block north of 3rd Street.
