This one is a no-brainer for Chlotrudis members in the Boston area. Don’t miss the 2nd Annual Independent Film Festival of Boston running from April 29 – May 2, 2004. With films screening at the Brattle, Coolidge Corner and Somerville theatres, the festival will exhibit 47 films and will give the audience an opportunity to engage the films’ directors, casts, and crews during Q&A sessions following screenings. Attendees will also vote for the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature, Documentary Feature, and Short Film. Ballots will be handed out prior to each screening and submitted while exiting the theater. All eligible films will also compete for awards that include: Best Feature Film, Best Documentary Film, and Best Short Film. A jury comprised of industry professionals will determine the winners.
Several Chlotrudis members have joined the fun by volunteering for the festival. Throughout the weekend, look for Michael Colford, Chris Kriofske, Hilary Nieukirk, and Beth Curran in the midst of the throngs of attendees, trying to keep them inline! Visit the Independent Film Festival of Boston website to see the film schedule and to purchase passes online. The line-up is really terrific, filled with incredible documentaries and Canadian films to name a few. Hope to see you there!
