Boston Underground Film Festival

Film Reviews: A Not-So Short Dispatch on Short Films at the Boston Underground Film Festival

I’m happy to report that the local scene has lost none of its eccentricity thanks to a deluge of talented filmmakers and animators with a taste for the offbeat. Stay weird Boston!

Film Review: At the Boston Underground Film Festival — “Knife+Heart” and “Mope”

My mind is busy considering the presence of two distinctly engrossing thrillers of sex and violence set within the adult film industry, one a vividly romantic neo-giallo fairy tale, the other a discomfiting, tragicomic spiral into murder and depravity.
