Short - Buzz Talk & News

Go figure, the two-plus-hour group of short features took some effort to get through. Good news/bad news is that the last few days only have a few "scheduled" items that have screeners, so maybe I'll be able to catch up a bit. I struggled...

Would you believe me if I said The Undertaker's Home isn't included here because I was trying to emulate the festival experience and I would have been in de Seve watching Dinner in America while it played in Hall so that doesn't ring true? No? Is i...

Before making the DCEU smash Shazam!, Sandberg broke out with the horror hits Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation The post Shadowed: David F. Sandberg Debuts New Horror Short appeared first on ComingSoon.net.

As I've been saying when IFFBoston does their Fall Focus every year, local film festivals doing "and-a-half" series to screen the movies that would play their main event except for how films don't stay on the festival circuit for that long...

I have a couple of Russian co-workers, and I should probably ask them how popular and well-remembered Revan "Rezo" Gabriadze and his films still are. Probably not well-known as a filmmaker - or maybe writers get remembered more in Russia -...

I've been pretty fortunate that, as BUFF has expanded enough to have a few weekend matinees at the Harvard Film Archive over the last couple of years, it hasn't presented me with a lot of really difficult choices. I'm generally cool with skipping th...

Ugh, is it really almost two months since this festival? Where does the time go? I was able to collect a replacement pass, although there were moments when I figured that maybe I wouldn't need one, because the folks at the Somerville Theatre prett...

Tuesday - Thursday: Two movies per day, at roughly 7pm and 9:30pm. Friday: Six movies, first at 12:45pm, last at 11:55pm, and then at it again Saturday. No wonder this didn't get posted until thirteen hours later that I'd like! Despite it being...

I've mentioned this before, but having nieces of movie-watching age can be really handy when you're the only forty-something man sitting by himself at certain movies. No need to explain how you have been a fan of Kenneth Branagh since Much Ago About...

I honestly do try not to be cynical going into this event, but when the line-up reads "web series, crowd-funded fantasy, local production, thing by the guy who made that movie we really hated a couple years ago"... It's not that I don't bel...

Every year, I spend one week of Fantasia working mornings to make sure stuff from the office doesn't fall too far behind. This is that week, and it started great with my work laptop's password having expired and my phone opting to drain rather than...

Spent much of yesterday writing because I figured on doing a little errand-running before a 3pm movie, although I spent too much time on a couple things. Part of those errands included dropping a tablet that I paid about $180 for off for last year $...

One guest today, festival regular Noboro Iguchi: Yes, he's in costume from the movie, with the joke being he ran here from Japan. As always, he was plenty enthusiastic, although I could kind of do without him encouraging the audience to yell &quo...

Hey, Hall Building, I kind of missed you last year. Don't get me wrong, the Imperial was great last year, but having all two - now three! - screens right at a single intersection makes things a whole lot easier, and a lot of my memories of this fe...
