INTIMIDAD - Programmer’s Pick

posted by Adam in IFFBoston

Hey everyone,

If you like documentaries then we have a great one for you. David Redmon & Ashley Sabin’s INTIMIDAD is having its New England premiere tonight at the Somerville Theatre at 7:30pm with both directors in attendance for the Q&A. David and Ashley have been at the festival with films twice in the past (MARDI GRAS: MADE IN CHINA - 2005, KAMP KATRINA - 2007) and their films keep getting stronger and stronger and it is especially exciting to watch the evolution of these two talented filmmakers. Their films have played at Sundance, SXSW, and many of the other top festivals and we are especially proud to have them at IFFBoston for a third time. Tonight at 7:30pm at the Somerville Theatre.

posted by Dan in IFFBoston

If you missed the IFFBoston premiere of WE ARE WIZARDS last night at the Coolidge, you missed quite the treat. Not only were the filmmakers incredibly excited to see such an enthusiastic and large crowd, the fans were doubly excited to see Harry and the Potters perform an acoustic set after the film and Q & A.

Here’s a quick video from the show:

Catch WE ARE WIZARDS for their second screening on Saturday April 26th at 4pm (Somerville Theatre). Immediately after the show there will be a huge WIZARD ROCK! show (tickets sold separate) with Harry and the Potters, Draco and the Malfoys, The Hungarian Horntails, and The Whomping Willows. Plus, special guests Brad Neely and Melissa Anelli.
