Among the many films scheduled for the 7th Annual Roxbury Film Festival, to be held throughout Boston August 17 – 21, is a short film which won both Best Film and Audience Favorite at last fall’s
The Chlotrudis Short Film Festival is held every autumn. This year, the festival’s 6th, will be held on Monday October 3, 2005 at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline. It is a juried competitive event, with a cash award for the winning Best Film. Over the years, films in competition have spanned the world, with entries from as far away as Australia and Israel, and as nearby as a neighborhood bowling league in Boston.
In addition, a fund-raising silent auction will also be held, with chances to bid upon prizes that include free weekends at exclusive hotels, certificates for luxury services like massages or personal shopping, and VIP passes to several of the area’s film festivals. The Short Film Festival is one way Chlotrudis honors and supports independent filmmakers, while providing an opportunity for Boston area audiences to enjoy a night of some of the best short films around.
In addition to DWAINE’S BIG GAME, the Roxbury Film Festival features screenings of a variety of new films spotlighting filmmakers of color. Special guest Billy Dee Williams, who is appearing in two of the festival’s films, will be on hand on opening night. Check out the full line-up at www.roxburyfilmfestival.org.
