Hey everyone. The best time of year in DC is almost upon us: SILVERDOCS!
I went all in for the “Silver Film Buff” pass this year, which guarantees at least 10 films in 7 days. The second night of the festival may even wind up as a film / rock-and-roll double header since I’d also purchased tickets for The New Pornographers that night. Exciting!
As a public service to those who like sitting in dark rooms with me, I’ve pasted (after the jump) the films I’m almost certainly attending. Grab tickets now! Afterwords we’ll hit Silver Spring’s other famous dark room: The Quarry House.
