Davis Area Free Films: 4/5 - 4/12

[josephineave.livejournal.com]

It's a good week at Tufts...including Oscar winner "Slumdog Millionaire" during Easter weekend. Hurry though, because Tufts will pretty much wrap up their freebie movies by the end of this month.

Tufts Film Series will show "W." tonight and "Doubt" and "Slumdog Millionaire" next weekend.

The Romance Language Department has a double feature today with an Italian film at 3 pm and a French Film at 6:30 pm.

Other highlights:

* Tufts will show "Democracy in Dakar" with the filmmaker on Monday night.
* The Tufts German House shows "Comedian Harmonists" on Monday night as well.
* On Thursday, the Somerville Library shows "Mystic Pizza".
* Also on Thursday, the Romance Language Department shows "Mar Adentro" as part of the Spanish movie series.

I'll keep my eyes open for more screenings and let you know. I'm away next week, so I probably won't be doing an update. I will try to update the calendar when I can.


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/
