Production Event
Event Name: Independent Film Festival Boston When: 04/22/2009 — 04/28/2009 Boston, Massachusetts Website: www.iffboston.org
Event Details
The Independent Film Festival of Boston (IFFBoston) shows films that people might not get a chance to see anywhere else, films that are both innovative and crowd-pleasing. It offers the chance to meet the filmmakers at post-screening parties, and to ask them questions both after the films and at festival panels.

The festival is a selection of movies made outside the Hollywood studio system. IFFBoston is a mix of features, documentaries, and shorts with ticket prices lower than what it costs to see most first-run movies.

The success of IFFBoston can be attributed to the hard-working, passionate, and completely volunteer staff that puts in time year-round. It’s also thanks to our 100+ extra volunteers, our sponsors, our venues, and our community. And the success of IFFBoston is largely due to an audience that had long wanted and waited for just this kind of festival and continues to support it.

IFFBoston aims to put Boston back on the map for independent film.

WCAT is hosting what I hope will become an annual event. The Wakefield
Flash Film Festival is your chance to put your production skill to the
test. “Flash” is modeled after the 48 Hour Film Festival where teams
have 2 days to write, shoot, edit and deliver a 4-7 minute short film.
“Flash” follows almost the exact same guidelines as 48 Hour except Flash
participants get one week instead of just 2 days. All the info can be
found on the website, www.wakefieldflashfilmfestival.com.

Registration will open on Monday January 12th when the registration form
is posted on the website. We have space for 30 teams and teams will be
granted a spot first come first served. There is a registration fee and
spots won’t be confirmed until the fee is received by WCAT. Please go to
the website for all the details. Feel free to ask me if you have any
specific questions.
