See these films: "Four Films From Young Boston: An Evening Of Personal Cinema" at the HFA
People Parade
With its numerous university film departments, the Boston area has grown
into a hotbed of young talent. Four recent graduates from local programs
showcase their work tonight at the Harvard Film Archive in "Four
Films From Young Boston: An Evening Of Personal Cinema."
They include Ahmed Khawaja and Andre Puca's Kassandra with a K, a
feature about a Muslim-American film student who wants to make a movie about
his first heartbreak (don't miss Phoenix
film critic Brett Michel's cameo - with his pet rabbit). It screens at 8 pm.
Screening at 6 pm are three shorts - Misha Spivack's Human
Geography, another foray into foiled love, and - on less
romantic topics - Chris Maggio and John Wilson's People
Parade, about aging entertainers, and Ted Rogers's A
House Where You Grew Up, which chronicles the filmmaker's awkward
return to his childhood home. The Archive is in the Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy
St, Cambridge | July 1[rescheduled from June 30] | free | 617.495.4700 or hcl.harvard.edu/hfa.
