2009 not only brings Philadelphia the 7th edition of the Backseat Film Festival, but it also gives us a chance to look back at the history of this long-running Philly-based film festival. Over the years, Backseat has been fortunate and proud to show over 500 of the coolest, edgiest, most exciting films around!
