Film @ International House attempts to reflect the true meaning and strength of all art: that art is meant to disturb, to make us reflect, to confront ourselves, to break down taboos, to defend what is human. In choosing films, International House seeks to promote, encourage, distribute and sponsor the public exhibition of the widest possible range of motion pictures and to further the appreciation of the motion picture as an art and a social force.
Live @ International House brings cutting-edge performers to the Philadelphia area – whether it’s jazz, rock, world or experimental music. International House is a unique forum that challenges and engages audiences unlike any other venue in the city. We provide emphasis on showcasing cultures and perspectives that are traditionally underrepresented by more mainstream media and that feature new, emerging and unique artistic and cultural talents.
