- Filmed at the Philadelphia Museum and Locks Gallery, The Imaginary Solutions of Thomas Chimes presents a conversation with the artist as he reminisces about his career, influences and artistic intuitions. Director of the museum, Anne d'Harnoncourt, joins Chimes to revisit the galleries of Thomas Eakins, Duchamp and Van Gogh, all of whom were deeply influential throughout his artistic journey. Just as many other American artists, Chimes spent time in Paris and discovered writers such as Antonin Artaud, James Joyce and most notably Alfred Jarry, whose writings on pataphysics dominated Chimes' work for two decades. Chimes's portraits of Jarry and his intellectual peers are the core of his idiosyncratic work as an artist. Michael Taylor, curator of Chimes' retrospective exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum, questions him on his progress from his beginnings to his present work.
- If you want to see a film about a family of vulnerable, yet touching, Irish immigrants, and the trials they face in the whirl-wind of New York, or if you are seeking out a movie about orphan Cheetahs that are Buddhist, and play soccer, or a movie so bold, so excruciatingly sexy, and so distractingly beautiful that it will move you in ways you never thought possible, then this film is the apotheosis of your gluttonous desire. The colorful, and starving Lehigh Valley Stevenson, author of horror novellas, turns to writing love letters for passers-bye, and becomes a muse for the citizens of Philadelphia. The Detector, a schizophrenic, and sweet man of vast nuance, sentimentality and corduroy apparel, arms himself with only a defective metal detector, as he embarks on an odyssey, and searches for something that lies at the heart of it all. Wily Russians run amok on an American submarine, and a second-string amateur hockey player fulfills his community service hours in front of a live audience of children, and through his simple nature, teaches us that drunks are people too. A mighty, yet aged Zeus readies the gorgeous Bacchus to play God with the lives of mankind. And the sad and lonely tale of the sweet Audrey, a wandering spirit, who looks for meaning in a marriage that has somehow become vacuous, stale, and potentially dangerous. These are but half the threads that are masterfully woven together by the brilliant and handsome filmmakers, into the rich and expensive tapestry that is Identity Burglars. A comedy that makes the first strides in Nu-form, the completely ad-libbed Identity Burglars ushers in a new precedence for filmmaking. Join the gigantic cast as their stories explore life, and exalt just how funny it can be.

- When thinking about about Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Giles first and foremost thinks of his favorite movie, Rocky (1976), iconic scenes from which he hopes to recreate while in town. In terms of food, he thinks blue collar street food, not the developed restaurant scene which Julia promises exists. The first restaurant he visits is Vedge, a fine dining vegan restaurant which wants to be known as fine dining more than vegan. As Giles is a confirmed omnivore who likes animal protein in his meals, they have an uphill battle to get his review. The second restaurant is Cheu Noodle Bar, an Asian noodle joint run by two very non-Asian guys, who place their non-Asian spin on the concept. Getting Giles' review may be dependent on if he sees their spin being distinctive and successful enough. The third restaurant is The Mildred, a French-American restaurant where all dishes are served in cast iron pots to evoke a sense of home cooking. Giles may see the iron pots and other measures used to bring in customers as either inspired or gimmicky. The fourth restaurant is The Avenue Delicatessen, a Jewish-Italian deli where everything is made from scratch. The food and service have to be excellent to overcome the negative of the long drive through a dicey neighborhood from downtown. The final restaurant is Kanella, a traditional Greek-Cypriot restaurant that is also BYOB. Getting Giles' review may depend on how the chef handles a special request, and if they can elevate Greek food above what it is normally seen as. Although not among his five official meals for review consideration, Giles can't leave Philadelphia without having its staple, the Philly cheesesteak, both a street version and the most expensive version in the world. And about Rocky...
