You won’t be able to see these films anywhere else in town. Nor in many other towns, for that matter.

		<description><![CDATA[Most reviewers of Le Havre, the Finnish film which Filmworks will show on March 9, call it something like sentimental, unreal, or impossibly optimistic, as if these are objectionable qualities in a motion picture. Yet everyone likes this film—they see it as plausibly hopeful. The word “heart” occurs in many of these reviews. Few fault&#8230;]]></description>

Only one American film made it into the live-action shorts category. It’s called “Time Freak,” about a man who figures out how to go back in time to&#8230;]]></description>

Go to Wikipedia and run your eyes down the lengthy list of films about cities. Wikipedia admits its list is incomplete. And why not? Cities have&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a sense, all films are allegorical, and usually we are glad they are. After all, films are supposed to provide expanded meaning, and few methods accomplish this better than stories that rest on allegories. However, film allegories are sometimes cheap “gotcha” devices: you thought the film was about one thing when actually (we are&#8230;]]></description>
