PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The Philadelphia Film Society has announced the full lineup for the 29th Philadelphia Film Festival.

The festival runs from October 23 - November 2.

PFF29 features in-home screenings available through the Festival's digital streaming platform, alongside nightly socially-distanced screenings throughout the 11-day Festival at the expanded 2-screen PFS Drive-In at the Navy Yard.

The Philadelphia Film Society highlighted a number of them:

Alongside the previously announced titles NOMADLAND, from Director Chloé Zhao and starring
Frances McDormand; and Cannes selection and TIFF premiere AMMONITE, starring Kate
Winslet and Saoirse Ronan, the PFS Drive-In will also feature a nightly slate totalling over a
dozen films, including BLACK BEAR, starring Aubrey Plaza as an actress-turned-director
retreating to a couple's secluded country home to write her next script. The Drive-In will feature
powerful documentaries 40 YEARS A PRISONER, Director Tommy Oliver's chronicling of
activist Mike Africa Jr.'s mission to free his parents following their imprisonment as a result of
the 1978 police raid on the revolutionary group MOVE's compound and MLK / FBI, Director
Sam Pollard's captivating examination, using recently declassified files, of the FBI's extensive
surveillance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The PFS Drive-In will also be the exclusive home of
the PFS on Us free ticketing initiative.

PFF29 offers three pass options for audiences to choose from: the Streaming Pass ($200), the Spotlight All Access Badge ($300), and the Premiere All Access Badge ($600). Find out how to purchase and use your badges and tickets.
