The Boston Film Festival is in town and Dave and I journeyed into the theater district of the city. The movies are showing at the Stuart Street Playhouse in the Revere Hotel. This theater was stunning. It is both a movie theater and a stage theater. I mean, you can't show major Broadway plays but it would be perfect for many kinds of community theater. As soon as I walked into the auditorium I wished we had bought the VIP tickets that allowed us to see all the shows and take part in the whole festival. Alas, with work and alternative plans for Saturday, I'm glad we got to see this one.
Our movie, Head Games, was a documentary about potential brain injuries that can result from multiple head trauma due to contact sports like hockey and football. This is an issue that is slightly close to me as I think that I have a cousin who might be affected by something similar. The documentary was alright. I definitely support the issue. However, my favorite part of the night was the fact that the main people in the documentary came onstage after the movie for a Q & A session. Even I asked a question of the panel! It was so cool.
Maybe next year, I might consider really doing more of the festival. This event was really awesome and I would love to see more in this theater.
