See this [free] film program: Local Youth Film Shorts @ the MFA
The MFA celebrates Martin Luther King Day with their Local Youth Film Shorts program, a
compilation of films made by neighborhood high school kids. The films range
from Carthage, Montgomery Alcott's
ambitious adaptation of Virgil's Aeneas-and-Dido tragedy, to Darin Jordan's Walmart
in Roxbury, a documentary about the impact of the retail giant
on the local economy, to Denesha Peter's Strawberry, an intriguing animated
interlude about the title fruit. There are nine in all, screened on Monday, January 16 @ 11 am and 1
pm, with the latter screening including a real time audience poll and a Q&A
with the filmmakers. That's at the Museum
of Fine Arts, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston | free | 617-369-3907 or
