Boston Free Films Jan. 7th through Jan. 13th

[josephineave.livejournal.com]

MIT is back and that means more films this week.  There’s also a special treat on January 13^th featuring the First Lady of California and a documentary about her father. 

See the complete calendar online.  There are two ways to access it:

·          Directly through the link   http://tinyurl.com/2z8spc

·          Add the calendar through Google Calendar.  Search for Joe’s BFF – Boston Free Films (any phrase should find it) and you can incorporate it with your own calendar. 

Here are the films for the next week from Medford-Somerville-Cambridge-Boston.  Please let me know of changes, additions and new sources of films.  I am always looking for new sources of free cinema. 

FREE MOVIE HINT OF THE WEEK:  If you haven’t already, check out the Medford Main Library at 111 High Street for an extremely good collection of videos, including mainstream, indy and foreign.  If your library is part of the Minuteman Library Network (e.g., Somerville, Cambridge), you can use your own library card.  If not, then any Mass. resident can get a card on the spot (see http://www.medfordlibrary.org/borrpolicies.htm for student and other nonresident borrowing policies).  You can borrow DVDs for a week and there is no limit to how many you can check out at once.  You can return DVDs to any Minuteman Library (including Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington…but not Boston).

Check for last minute changes or contact the organizers to make sure events are still happening, especially in case of inclement weather.
