West Chester Film Festival (2026): Day Two

Our recap of the West Chester Film Festival marches on with Day Two starting with a handful of documentaries, including one about a giant, both real and imaginary in  "N.C. Wyeth: The Giant", another about the coalition and community that made Pride possible in Phoenixville, PA in "See Me - LGBT Equality Alliance", and a rereading of a document most Americans THINK they know in "Dare to Declare". And of course the shorts continued with an Irish examination of grief through produce in "Cabbage", a tense and heartbreaking prison break in "Run Rabbit", a beautiful and heart-wrenching tale of greed and exploitation in "The Girl Who Cried Pearls", a rapper and his zombie Grandma just trying to survive the apocalypse the only way they know how in "Z-Mile", a humorous look at a woman making her way through the contemporary job market in "Excuse Me", an animated tale involving an adorably drawn community and its relationship to natural resources in "Varken (Pig)", summer love in "The Variety Club", and a poetic reflection on loss, love, and grief, in "Pour Concrete in my Wound". And there is more to come from the delectable short film buffet that is the West Chester Film Festival. Stay tuned for Day Three!!
