In its description of the city, the Times noted that one reason to visit Philadelphia is the city’s utilization of urban outdoor spaces through mini-parks and pop-up gardens. The paper highlighted new attractions like Dilworth Park, Spruce Street Harbor Park and the Schuylkill Banks Boardwalk.rnrn“Philadelphians know that they live in a great city. Philadelphia is a walkable, bikable, family-friendly city with some of the best historical and cultural attractions in the country,” Mayor Michael A. Nutter said. “I hope that this recognition from the New York Times will encourage more visitors to come to Philadelphia and experience firsthand all that we have to offer. We Philadelphians are pleased that the New York Times has acknowledged that our city is a vibrant, growing, sustainable city with more and more must-see green amenities.”rnrnThe full list is available at: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/01/11/travel/52-places-to-go-in-2015.html?smid=tw-nytimestravel&_r=0

The film brings a week-by-week window into the joys, trials and surprises of each family’s story to the screen aiming to help women have the best possible experience and outcome for their babies.rnWhen Dominique Debroux, co-producer, was pregnant she couldn’t find a film that brought community and information together in an easily accessible format. Director Christopher Henze, her husband, was inspired to make one – both Big Belli and 40 Weeks came into being with this flash of inspiration. Dominique and Christopher are building out the bigbelli.com site to offer filmed content and community beyond the movie to help connect moms-to-be so they know they’re not alone in this amazing journey.rnThe red carpet premiere will be held in Philadelphia on January 13th at 6pm at the Landmark Ritz East, located at 125 South 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106.rnNewyorkfamily.com praises the intimacy the moms granted the filmmakers. “That, perhaps, is the film’s greatest gift,” they said. “There are many hard, difficult moments…But all of the women approach the incredible changes and challenges they are facing with strength and a sense of humor. In the end, the message is refreshing: no one has a perfect pregnancy.”rnTheatrical distribution of the film equals the ground-breaking concept of 40 Weeks itself.rnGathr.us Theatrical On Demand® is Big Belli’s distribution partner. This new approach to commercial film distribution allows a film’s audience to bring movies they like to their communities by crowdsourcing the audiences. It is changing film distribution nationally and bringing more women’s movies to theaters near you.rnTo find and reserve tickets for a local screening or to become a Gathr host and create an event in your own town, please visit http://www.bigbelliscreening.com.
