Boston Free Films, Vol. 5

 

Here’s a look at the free films showing in the Medford-Somerville-Cambridge-Boston crescent from Monday, October 29th to Sunday, November 4th.  If there are any changes I discover, I will post them here.   I am seriously considering setting up a Google Public Calendar  for this list to allow last minute additions and changes and let you find things easier.  I'll see if I can have one set up over the next week or so and I'll let you know.
