One Film

Companion to the One Book, One Philadelphia project, Spielberg's Empire of the Sun has been selected for the inaugural run of One Film, One Philadelphia.

During the One Film program period, Empire of the Sun will be shown at libraries, theaters, and schools throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding area. DVD copies of Empire of the Sun will also be available at all Free Library of Philadelphia locations. Additionally, audiences will be encouraged to draw connections between Empire of the Sun and What Is the What—the featured selection of the 2008 One Book, One Philadelphia program—as testimonials of the experiences of children in war zones. One Film will open with a reception and screening of Empire of the Sun at Moore College of Art and Design on February 21 at 6:00 p.m.
