Published May 04 2011, 12:00 PM by Peter Keough

Every year the Boston LGBT Film Festival provides a kind of snapshot, not just of the state of civil rights in America, but of cinema in general, pointing the way to the future of film. The 27th annual festival's opening feature, Tom Tykwer's Three also draws from the past, namely '30s-style screwball comedies, in its very contemporary tale of a fortysomething married heterosexual couple who try to spark up their relationship by having an affair with the same guy. The festival runs May 5-15 at the Museum of Fine Arts, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston and May 6-15 at the Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | Three screens Thursday, April 5 @ 7:30 pm | $10; $8 students, seniors; festival pass $175; $150 students, seniors | brattlefilm.org or mfa.org.
