Davis Area Free Films - 3/29 to 4/5

[josephineave.livejournal.com]

There is something that happens after Spring Break at Tufts. Suddenly, the student clubs remember all the activities they promised to their members and the folks who give them funds to operate. The result -- a flood of films on campus for us to enjoy. Expect to see even more films in the coming weeks, some on very short notice.

Tufts Film Series will show "A Touch of Spice" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" tonight and "W" and "Frost/Nixon" next weekend.

Other highlights:

* The US premiere of the documentary "The Liberators of Bulgaria" will be held in Medford Center today at 4 pm.
* The Tufts German House Monday night film series will show "Aimee & Jaguar".
* The Tufts Anthropology Department will show "Live From Bethlehem" on Monday with the filmmaker in attendance.
* Students At Tufts Acting for Immigrant Rights will present "El Norte" on Thursday at 8 pm.
* The Tufts Convergence Conference will show "Today the Hawk Takes One More Chick" on Friday at 8:30 pm with the filmmaker in attendance.
* The Romance Language Department will screen "Don't Move" on Sunday as part of their Italian Film Series and "Tell No One" as part of the French Film Series.

I'll keep my eyes open for more screenings and let you know.
