The Philadelphia Film Society (PFS) has a week-long lineup of classic Black cinema, featuring horror, comedy, and drama, including two showings of Fences, the Denzel Washington-directed adaptation of the beloved August Wilson play. This year’s theme is “Shot Callers” and will focus on actors turned directors.

This year’s lineup at Harriett’s Bookshop collaborates with the Free Library of Philadelphia for the event to explore connections between filmmaking and writing.

Showtimes vary by day, with two 21-plus BYOB evenings (February 21 & 23, 2026). You can buy individual tickets for each screening or save by purchasing a four-film ticket bundle.
