davis_square | Davis Area Free Films - Nov. 16th

There is a good variety of films this week up on Walnut Hill. Grab a seat before the students leave for Thanksgiving break.

I've seen a lot of last minute screenings popping up on the schedule recently, so check my online calendar before settling for reruns of "Everyone Loves Raymond".

The Tufts Film Series is showing "The Dark Knight" and "Tropic Thunder" next weekend.

You can see "Das Parfuem" on Monday night and "The Summer of Aviya" on Tuesday.

Wednesday brings screenings of "Power of One" and "Persepolis".

On Thursday, you can join the filmmaker Jaffar Mahmood (a 2000 Tufts grad) for a screening of his comedy "Shades of Ray".

See the complete Boston-area calendar online. There are two ways to access it:
• Directly through the link Boston Free Films
• 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.

The best place to keep up-to-date on Tufts happenings is Tuftslife, where most student events are listed. The official school calendar at Tufts Calendar will also show some school events as well.

Check for last minute updates or contact the organizers to make sure events are still happening, especially in case of inclement weather. To find your way on campus, check out the map: http://inside.tufts.edu/compass/
