Semiquincentennial Series

In anticipation of America’s 250th birthday, the Colonial Theatre has selected the following films for their Semiquincentennial Films Series, all of which are set or shot in the city that birthed America, Philadelphia. These are just the first five films in the series, with more programming to spotlight the City of Brotherly Love coming in 2026!

JOIN THE 250 CLUB! The Colonial Theatre is honoring Philadelphia-area cinema, leading up to the 250 celebration in 2026, and we hope you’ll help us celebrate! For $250, a heavily discounted film sponsorship price tag, you, your company or family can support one film within the Semiquincentennial Film Series. Reach out to Kristine Connolly at kristine@thecolonialtheatre.com to learn more!
