The ski and snowboard films shown at the Boston Winter Film Festival are an awesome blend of creativity and raw power; nature and technology; awe, fear, and excitement. The event features some of 2014's best winter films, shot on location in some of the remote mountain ranges on earth and right here in our own backyards, on our city streets, and at our favorite local resorts.

It’s been years since the eponymous WBCN radio graced the airwaves but its legacy has not been forgotten. During the golden era of underground stations, WBCN was belting out its message of revolution during the civil rights times of 1968 to 1974. Keeping the nostalgia alive, curator Bill Lichtenstein has compiled a vast library of archival footage for a new documentary film about the station and the time it affected. “We’ve received more than 50,000 pieces of memorabilia, donated by people across the country…we’re counting on this nationwide enthusiasm — from both those who were there and from young people inspired by what WBCN meant,” Lichtenstein said. Like many other artists today, Bill has taken to the internet with a call to arms. The project will be funded by those who care about it most on Kickstarter.com
Even famed Boston Red Sox pitcher, Bill “Spaceman” Lee has signed on to help the project in its homerun stretch before its Monday, December 19th deadline. Earlier today he sent out this blast:
A Special Message from former Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee about the www.KickstartWBCN.com campaign for "The American Revolution."

Attention! This is Bill "Spaceman" Lee.

The New York Times discusses the pluses and minuses of local governments giving companies subsidies to film in their states.
Less than two years ago, [Andrew] den Houten became one of the first to take advantage of Michigan’s generous subsidy, which pays for up to 42 percent of a movie’s cost, when he made “Offspring,” a cannibalism-themed horror picture that was later distributed by the Ghost House Underground direct-to-video line and has been showing on NBC Universal’s Chiller TV network.
“The Woman,” a sequel to “Offspring,” is a little less horrific, Mr. van den Houten said in an interview.
“We had babies in the first movie,” he offered.
The Michigan film bureau was less-than pleased by the topic, saying “This film is unlikely to promote tourism in Michigan or to present or reflect Michigan in a positive light,” while objecting to “this extreme horror film’s subject matter, namely realistic cannibalism; the gruesome and graphically violent depictions described in the screenplay; and the explicit nature of the script.”

I'm not a big action movie fan, but it's cool when scenes for a film are shot just a few buildings down from where you live. Here's the article from the Lynn Item and a link to some photos I took as they were getting ready the night before.

Earlier in the week I thought this was going to be a real store. I wish we were getting more shops. Maybe the film buzz and the crowds coming down will help? Lynn isn't as bad as its reputation. Except for a few neighborhoods, most of it is quite nice.

Boston is roughly halfway between Hollywood and Slough, so it would make sense that Ricky Gervais and his writing partner Matt Robinson would meet here to film their upcoming film, "This Side of the Truth".
"The Office" boss, Extras star, and major UK celebrity reports that they have just finished a week in town scouting locations. No word of when filming will start, or if Karl Pilkington will be appearing on set.

It's perfect weather for a movie night! And tonight is the one-time-only screening of "Cleophas and His Own" at the Kendall Square theater in Cambridge.
WBUR's Adrienne LaFrance writes:
"Those looking to expand their horizons on art and narrative should make the time for “Cleophas and His Own: A North Atlantic Tragedy,†a very (nearly three hours) long but equally rewarding debut from director Michael Maglaras, who also stars in the film."

...it's a short silent film called "The Unhappy Medium," (directed by Chelsea Spear) and it's being screened outdoors, right in the middle of Harvard Square, on the Lumen Eclipse billboard display....all throughout the month of August:

(In case you're wondering, I play the role of the mean ol' spirit medium in this one...)

A movie theatre which shows these many Samurai flicks in one month is worth saving. That and the fact that without places like this Harvard Square is going to become one big generic outdoor mall.
