“The series spotlights six new films hand-picked by program director Nancy Campbell and executive director Brian Tamm during their travels to fests around the world. It’s the kind of eclectic mix for which IFFBoston is renowned. ‘These are films that really affected us when we saw them at other festivals, and we’re thrilled to share them with our community.'” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 10/20/2016
“In my experience, seeing a film you love in 70mm is akin to discovering it anew. So crisp and beautiful was the image in The Hateful Eight that I found it difficult to sit through other current movies with their sludgy digital distortions for weeks afterwards. It was like listening to a compressed MP3 on earbuds after attending a symphony orchestra.” – Boston Reel, 09/15/2016
“There’s an energy to this festival you don’t find in other cities. There’s none of the industry posturing or velvet rope snobbery that so often plagues events of this size and scope. IFFBoston has always been a scrappy, non-profit affair put on by and for passionate film fans in the community. Everybody’s welcome, and we’re all celebrating movies together.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 04/27/2016
“In the space of just five evenings, IFFBoston’s Fall Focus selection highlights the diversity for which this local treasure of a festival is renowned: documentary, indie thriller, foreign language, Oscar winners, underground comedy, martial arts, even puppet animation. This place has everything.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 10/23/2015
