It's been a busy lead-in for our household for the last two weeks and the MSPIFF website has been DOWN for much of that time, but I finally 1) have chosen the 70 films I'm seeing the next three weeks and 2) can tell you about it. As for the last couple of years, the films are all at St. Anthony Main.
*If the links don't work, it's not my coding. It's MSPIFF and Minneapolis/St. Paul Film Society. Their websites are only online intermittently, apparently. They were online as I was writing this, and then when I tried to link to the closing film, I couldn't get to any of the sites. Also, I'll put up links as soon as I can find them, but I figured it's better to get the list out there. Perfect is the enemy of good.*
