Well, your fall film festival planning just got all sorts of wonky. The Philadelphia Film Festival recently announced their 2010 schedule and it just so happens to coincide with the FirstGlance Film Festival. And if that isn't enough to get your calendar in a tizzy, throw in the Asian American Film Festival. It's running during the last four days of PFF. Good luck figuring that one out.

The bright side to this whole shenanigan, of course, is that each festival offers up it's own unique flavor. For its 19th go-round, PFF comes into the mix with a monstrous line-up of 216 screenings of domestic and international short films, documentaries and features. The festival will run from Oct. 14-24 in six venues around Philadelphia and at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute.
