Independent Film Festival of Boston Announces Lineup
By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trade News | Comments (13)
For those of you up in the Northeast who missed out on Sundance and SXSW, but want a little taste of the festival experience this spring, you’re in luck. The Independent Film Festival in Boston is playing some of the same movies that first screened at Sundance and in Austin (at least the ones that haven’t been released yet), in addition to Rian Johnson’s (Brick) The Brothers Bloom, starring Mark Ruffalo, Adrien Brody, and Rachel Weisz. The Brothers Bloom, which will open the festival, will be screened at the Somerville Theater, which is nothing like the Alamo Drafthouse, but it is in Davis Square (my old neighborhood), and the second greatest neighborhood in Boston (besides Brookline’s Coolidge Corner, of course; fortunately, several other screenings will take place there).
I suspect I’ll make it down for a few days to catch some of the movies we missed in Austin, and perhaps I can harangue TK into joining me for a screening or two. For the locals (and those in surrounding areas), if you’re interested, the festival passes run $180, and the full line-up is posted below. You can also visit the website for more information.

Thanks, Dustin.
I'm not being sarcastic, I just felt bad that nobody had commented on this thread, which happens to be a pretty nice head's up. Thanks again!
