The One With the Somerville Film Fest

 

 


Today, Kif and I went to Somerville to see student movies as part of the Independent Film Festival of Boston.


We journeyed to the Somerville Theater. It is actually a pretty neat theater - very old fashioned and cozy. In fact, I learned that they play a lot of old Sci Fi movies there, including my favorite, the Gamera series from the 1970s. That was awesome!!!


The student portion of the film festival was about 2 hours and a ton of fun to watch. There were clever movies made from college students all over Massachusetts, including BU, UMass Lowell, Fitchburg State, and Emerson (where Kif thinks he wants to go).


There were a variety of interesting movies there - one about a boy who creates a superhero, a sad clown, an angry couple, and a fox turned human (Kiff's favorite and one of mine, too). At the end, they had a quick Q and A with the film-makers and Kiff was hooked.


When it was done, not only were we happy to go, but hope to go next year, too.
