Orville Peck, Drive-By Truckers, Fontaines D.C. are all headed to Philly. And a bunch of Philly Film Fest music films.

This week in Philly music boasts plenty of high profile shows, with an enticing weekend featuring Orville Peck on Friday at the Met, Drive-By Truckers on Saturday at the TLA, and Fontaines D.C. on Sunday at the Fillmore.

But there’s also an added bonus of music movies: the Philadelphia Film Festival, which runs from Oct. 17 to 27, is showing as part of its Sight & Soundtrack series at screens around town.

So let’s go to the movies.

For starters, the most Philadelphia-centric music film is The Philly Sound … Heard Round The World.

It screens on Oct. 23 and Oct. 25.

It’s screening on Oct. 27.

Pavements is another music movie with a Philly connection.
