Film Descriptions

The Boston International Film Festival rolled out this Friday and continues through next Saturday. It features provocative documentary and narrative films from India, Japan, Canada, Rwanda, Nepal, Israel, and many other countries. The festival's impressive international focus doesn't preclude shining a light on Boston, however. There are several Boston-made films in the lineup, including Across Dot Ave, Forgotten Ellis Island, Remarkable Power. Bostonist had the good fortune to watch Across Dot Ave this morning, and we'll have a review up soon. In the meantime, check out the rest of this weekend's festival schedule.
