Reading, PA (The Hollywood Times) 10/2/26 – Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning filmmaker Josh Fox will be a special guest speaker during the 2026 ReadingFilmFEST, taking place November 6–8 in Reading, Pennsylvania. The Hollywood Times is proud to be a media partner for this year’s festival.
Fox’s latest documentary, The Welcome Table, will be featured as a special presentation in partnership with ReadingFilmFEST and Bullfrog Films. The film, also available on HBO, follows climate migrants across six continents as they share deeply personal stories of losing their homes, security and stability while confronting the effects of a changing planet.
Fox is perhaps best known for his groundbreaking 2010 documentary Gasland, which earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature. Fox also won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Directing for Nonfiction Programming for the film.
Although Fox will not be attending ReadingFilmFEST in person, his live virtual guest appearance will give festival audiences an opportunity to hear directly from the acclaimed filmmaker about The Welcome Table, its subjects and the issues that inspired the documentary.
The 2026 ReadingFilmFEST runs November 6–8 in Reading, Pennsylvania, bringing together independent filmmakers, audiences and special guests for a weekend devoted to storytelling and cinema.
