OK, maybe not millions, but there's a hella wealth of film goodness in greater Boston this week. Peep this, s.v.p.:
- Monday, 19 July, 7 p.m. at the Brattle: The DocYard presents: Frederick Wiseman's HOSPITAL + rare Q&A with Wiseman, moderated by Scott MacDonald. [via]
- Wednesday, 21 July, 8 p.m. at MassArt: The MassArt Film Society presents No Way Out But Onward. The Disembodied Theater Corporation brings you an evening of dispatches, news, songs, and fragments from the Ghost City: the skeletal remains of abandoned towns, railways, and graveyards that stand as remnants of a lost society. Filmmaker Ross Lipman in collaboration with Bryan Papciak, Jeff Sias and Liz Coffey presents this haunting assemblage of ruins, rants, and shards of memory that paint a collective portrait of dystopia. The evening includes a live cinema performance of Lipman's NO WAY OUT BUT ONWARD, and excerpts of Papciak and Sias's feature length work-in-progress, AMERICAN RUINS. [deets and directions]
- Friday, 23 July, 7 p.m. at Harvard Film Archive: Johnny Guitar, followed by Born to Be Bad!
- Saturday, 24 July, 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Brattle: Pee-wee's Big Adventure in a double feature with Back to the Future. [A marathon of all three Future flicks plays Sunday].
- Sunday, 25 July, 5 p.m. at the Somerville Theatre screening room: Connect the Docs presents Vapor Trail (Clark) with director John Gianvito in person. There will be discussion, wine, and pizza, but no word on whether Gianvito will reprise his turn on the ones and the twos from last month's Flaherty Seminar.
