Montclair Film Festival : April 29-May 5
April 29th, 2013 by Mr. C
The 2nd annual Montclair Film Festival is upon us starting today April 29 – May 5, 2013! I’m proud to say that I went to College at Montclair and even worked at one of the movie theaters that is participating in the festival. Though, I must admit that I’ve been out of touch with the daily ongoings of Montclair since graduating from her ranks in the mid 1990s – the Montclair Film Festival is a great reason to come back home! Much has changed in Montclair/Upper Montclair since the 1990’s most notably the storefronts and electric vehicle charging stations but a lot has remained the same. This town has always been progressive and was always a community that nourished the development of arts be it film, theater, or fine arts. What I love about this film festival is that the whole community is taking pride in showcasing this event. From the local businesses decorating their storefronts with film themes to the students from the local schools providing artwork to promote the festival to the town providing free shuttle services to festival goers to the different venues. You truly get a feel that the Montclair Film Festival is playing host to new & relevant movies along with showing appreciation to some of the classics as well as welcoming special guests like Harry Belafonte, Lake Bell, Ice-T, Jim Mcgreevey, Michael Moore, and more.
We will be attending a few screenings including – The Kings of Summer, American Masters: Mel Brooks, Computer Chess, The Attack, The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete, Wasteland, Violet and Daisy, and probably more depending on how our schedule shakes out. Go to the 2013 Montclair Film Festival website HERE to checkout the latest schedule, offerings, guests, and free panels! We hope to see you at the movies in Montclair!

you would totally rock out MFF with coverage. Although the films are one off screenings in terms of showtime which can make it tough to see it all.
