Wednesday, February 27 at 7pm Tube Time! IHP presents a night of videos straight from YouTube through our 2K Barco digital cinema projector and onto the big screen. Since 2005, YouTube has been a rapidly-growing user-generated resource that many use for diverse functions, research, personal expression and piracy among them. Tube Time! has been a feature in past editions of the Migrating Forms Festival (formerly the New York Underground Film Festival) and it just feels right to bring it to The Ibrahim Theater for the first time. We’ve simply asked participants to introduce a 20-minute playlist comprised of videos of their choosing. We expect the results to delight, shock, excite and horrify! Please see our website for the full lineup of participants. Thursday, February 28 at 6pm IHP: The First 100 Years

Over the past 100 years, IHP has amassed an incredible archive of documents, addressing the history of this important institution and its role in the Philadelphia community. Join us to celebrate the opening of our permanent exhibit that explores IHP’s past through photos, press clippings, newsletters, and other archival documents. The evening will feature brief speeches from members of the IHP community, complimentary hors d’oevres and refreshments, themed decorations, as well as a live band playing music from the ‘40s and ‘50s. Thank you to our framing sponsor, Vision Graphics.
