Davis Area Free Films - 4/19 - 4/26

[josephineave.livejournal.com]

The end of the road is in sight for free films at Tufts for the school year. There might be some movies next week, but I don't expect much as next Monday is the end of classes.

Tufts Film Series screens "Pineapple Express" on 4/20 and will show "The Wrestler" and "Gran Torino" next weekend, the last of the semester. They will also show "Sandlot" outdoors on the Academic Quad on 4/27.

Other highlights:

* Tufts will show "La Sierra" with the filmmaker on Tuesday night.
* Tufts Romance Language Department will finish their Brazilian Film Series with "O Outro Lado da Rua" on Wednesday.
* Also on Wednesday, the Somerville Library shows "The Verdict".
* On Wednesday, the Tufts Friends of Israel will screen "Faces of Israel".
* The Tufts Democrats will show "Crossing Arizona" with the filmmaker on Thursday.
* The Independent Film Festival of Boston will have a free screening of short films from CDIABU students on Saturday at the Somerville Theater.

I'll keep my eyes open for more screenings and let you know. I'll try to do an update for next week, though I only know of 2 or 3 movies showing.


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/
