/Film Boston: Boston Underground Film Festival Begins Tonight

By David Chen/March 24, 2011 7:45 am EST

Spring is a great time for movie lovers who live in New England. Not only does old man winter seem finally on the cusp of relinquishing his cold, hard death grip on the region, but there are a couple of interesting film festivals taking place. For example, The Boston Underground Film Festival begins tonight, and brings with it some awesome screenings, Q&As, and events. Hit the jump for the full schedule.

The highlights of BUFF for me this year are unquestionably Hobo with a Shotgun (see Germain's review from Sundance) and The Woman (which prompted this angry reaction when it debuted), BOTH of which will feature their directors in attendance. But as usual, BUFF has put together some very diverse offerings, many of which look unbelievably f__ked up. If you're a lover of subversive, marginal, underground cinema, I think you'll probably find some good stuff this year. Here's the BUFF's full schedule, with all screenings being held at the Kendall Square Theater (some screenings also held at the Coolidge; check out their website for details):
