To Be Heard (2010)

One the liveliest and most important film series in these parts, the Doc Yard Presents returns with Amy Sultan, Roland Legiardi-Laura, Edwin Martinez, and Deborah Shaffer's To Be Heard (2010; 7 pm), a real-life Precious in which three South Bronx teenage girls expand their lives and minds through poetry. The directors Martinez and Sultan and two of the subjects will attend. Also at the Brattle, for those looking instead for comedy and fantasy, is Joe Dante's Gremlins (1984; 10 pm), in which the title imps act up and end up in a Cuisinart for their trouble. The Brattle is at 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | Monday June 6 @ 7 pm + 10 pm | $10; $8 students, seniors | 617.876.6837 or brattefilm.org.
