Projecting Hope Film Festival – PGH: Thousands expected to attend 16th Annual FREE event

PITTSBURGH, PA (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — The 16th Annual Projecting Hope Film Festival will be held at the North Versailles Stadium 18 on December 1 – 3, 2017. The festival will showcase today’s top faith-focused and family-friendly films.  All showings are FREE to the public. Previous events have drawn over 5,000 attendees.

Festival organizers believe a film can make a positive impact on people’s lives. “People from all walks of life are searching for hope and encouragement,” says director Scott Anderson. “The films presented at the event all contain a common thread of redemption. The stories shared are ones that deal with issues universal to humanity, and remind us that, despite all the difficulties of life, there is hope and beauty in this world.”

The 2017 festival features the best in faith-inspired entertainment, including new releases like The Star and Same Kind of Different as Me, as well as free showings of the biggest hits from the past year (Case for Christ, The Shack) and more.

The North Versailles Stadium 18 is located at 1701 Lincoln Hwy, North Versailles, PA 15137 and offers a trampoline park and rock-climbing course.
