Boston Free Films: 9/16 - 9/23
This is what you have all been waiting for. Films with directors on hand, films that haven't made it to the theater yet, a festival with films about games, a rarely shown silent film with musical accompaniment... and that's not all!
Something for everyone ... and you can expect more. Stay tuned.
Enjoy.
