Tonight will be a sort of homecoming for Jon Foy.

Foy, the West Philly house-cleaner-turned-award-winning-documentary-filmmaker, will be at the International House Philadelphia (3701 Chestnut St.) tonight for the Philadelphia premiere of Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles, a film that prompted the jury at Sundance to name him “Best Documentary Director.” The screening begins at 7 p.m.

Resurrect Dead follows three Toynbee enthusiasts as they try to solve the mystery of the cryptic, license plate-sized tiles embedded in asphalt streets from Buenos Aires to Boston. The tiles typically contain a cryptic message from referring to the Stanley Kubrick film 2001: A Space Odyssey and are thought to be named after historian Arnold J. Toynbee.

Philadelphia is a hotbed of Toynbee Tiles and there are a few embedded in the streets of West Philadelphia. You’ve very likely walked over them.

Foy has quit his job as a house cleaner since winning the Sundance award, but the life of a documentary filmmaker is never secure (unless you’re Ken Burns, I suppose), so he could use the support of his friends and neighbors at the screenings. As an added bonus, Foy and the cast will attend every screening to answer questions and talk about the film.

Screenings will also be held:

• Saturday, September 10 at 7pm
• Saturday, September 10 at 9:30pm
• Sunday, September 11 at 7pm
• Monday, September 12 at 7pm
