Boston Free Films, Vol. 2

Here’s a look at the free films showing in the Medford-Somerville-Cambridge-Boston crescent from Monday, October 8^th to Sunday, October 14^th.  If there are any changes I discover, I will post them here. 

I’ve decided a chronological order may help those who need to deal with time and date before location.  We’ll see how this works.

Note:  The Boston Jewish Film Festival is looking for volunteers for this year’s festival (Nov. 1-11th).  Work and receive 2 tickets to a festival film of your choice.  More info at www.bjff.org.

These are all free movies but there are other relatively inexpensive movies put on by organizations such as MIT's lecture series committee (http://lsc.mit.edu) which is playing "A mighty Heart" and "The Bourne Ultimatum" this coming weekend. Tickets are $3 and concessions are minimally marked up.

And I see that someone else made this exact same comment the previous time you posted a list such as this.
