More March Madness...and a little February Film

Well, it turns out there are not two but THREE film fests in March. The third one, though, is teeny compared to the others.

Spirit in the House is a theater fringe fest of sorts, having to do with all things spiritual. This year they added a film festival component. Here are my choices, all happening at Hennepin United Methodist, at 511 Groveland in downtown Minneapolis:

Friday, February 27th

The Jesus Guy, 7:00 pm
Shorts Program 1, 8:30 pm

Saturday, February 28th

Shorts Program 2, 7:00 pm

Sunday, March 1st

Baptists at Our Barbecue, 7:00 pm

And I'm also going to this non-movie piece:

Monday, March 2nd

Saving Pagan Babies: Catholic Culture Clashes, 7:00 pm

Upcoming Film Fests

I can't quite believe that the Twin Cities film fest season is upon us. Even MSPIFF has announced its dates (though don't expect films to be announced until a few days before it's scheduled to begin in mid-April).

Here is my March wish list for the Twin Cities Jewish Film Fest and Women with Vision festival. Care to join me?
