Live Daddying Film Forum in Philadelphia, PA

COMING APRIL 2025



 

 

The live Daddying Film Forum brings children/youth together with their Dads/Dad figures and families to examine thoughts, feelings, and insights in response to selected D3F winning and finalist films. Attendees can express those responses through Q&A discussion and other creative means. Here's what D3F 2024's 2-day agenda included:

 

2024 Forum Day 1, Friday, May 17th, from 4-8pm at the Parkway Central Free Library featured screenings of 2024 Atticus Award-winning student and dad-created films, finalist films, including Canadian filmmaker Tristan Barrocks' Dear Black Dad, and a special presentation of the 2024 Sundance Film Festival’s Audience Award winner for Best U.S. documentary and winner for Festival Favorite, Daughters, before its Netflix debut! We were profoundly honored that Girls For A Change founder and co-director, Angela Patton, attended to participate in a live Q&A, and, appropriately, was introduced by her father, Harry Walker.

2024 Forum Day 2, Saturday, May 18th, 10am to 3pm at the iconic Mummers Museum, presented a selection of D3F 2024 indie features (including our 2024 Atticus Award winner Two Lives in Pittsburgh) and dad-created film finalists! Attendees also had access to the museum.
