Attend this film fest: 27th Annual Boston Film Festival

Giancarlo Esposito

The Boston Film Festival, now in its 27th year, has seen its ups and downs. But its organizers definitely made a shrewd move when they settled into one of the city's classiest venues, the Stuart Street Playhouse, where it opens its weeklong run of world premieres. They include Peter Askin's Certainty (6:45 pm), the tale of a young couple who undergo Catholic pre-nuptial counseling. Glee cast member Mike O'Malley, who wrote the screenplay, and star Giancarlo Esposito will be among those attending the screening at the Stuart Street Playhouse, 200 Stuart St, Boston | Friday, September 16- Thursday, September 22 | $9 | bostonfilmfestival.org
