The last full day of Independent Film Festival of Boston programming is on!
---------------------------------
A sample of today's offerings in the documentary category...
THE THIRD MONDAY IN OCTOBER, about the politics of student council elections in American high schools across America...
SUPER AMIGOS, focused on five Mexican wrestlers who take their masked identities to the streets to combat criminals, slumlords, and bigotry...
MONSTER CAMP, following live-action roll players—participants dress up in character (and race, a la troll, fairy, wizard, what-have-you) to play a game like Warcraft, or Dungeons & Dragons, only in "real life"—in their in- and out-of-game lives...
---------------------------------
And in the narrative/fiction column...
YEAR OF THE FISH, a modern retelling of the Chinese "Cinderella" story, told in a painterly rotoscoped/animated style similar to that of SCANNER DARKLY...
THE TEN, ten blasphemous and hilarious shorts based on/illustrating the ten commandments. From the creator of WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER (great quirky comic 80s movie spoof fun)...
FIDO, it's 1950s American suburbia, and every home has a color TV in the living room, a car in the driveway, and a zombie in the yard! What could be finer?
---------------------------------
Check out the entire remaining catalog of films and screenings here...
Note that there's still a Monday night of screenings available as well, along with the closing night flick at the Coolidge on Tuesday.
Keep on keepin on~
p.s. If you're looking for a movie option without the obvious stigma of "independent-ness" attached to it, check out HOT FUZZ and GRINDHOUSE, which have been marketed and labelled as indies, but play like plain ol' kickass big screen fun! Provided you like to laugh, and can stand just a bit (okay, with GRINDHOUSE, a *lot*) of violence and action, you will have yourself a helluva good time watching either of these. =)
