We’ve blogged about Robert Gardner before, but in case you missed his appearance at Bard College and are from the Boston area, he’ll be at the Harvard Film Archive on Friday, December 4th, at 7 PM. He’ll be showing fragments from unfinished films and discussing films that could have been. Also, he seems punctual, so I wouldn’t want to be late.
On Sunday, December 6th, at 7 PM, Vlada Petric will be in the house. Petric will be showing films and discussing his career, which includes–like Gardner–teaching at Harvard. These are your last chances to get to the HFA before it shuts down until the end of January, so don’t miss them. I wish I didn’t have to.
If you’re in the Boston area November 12-22, I suggest you see Blue Spruce Theatre’s production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the Arsenal Center in Watertown, MA.
