Non-Profit Member-Supported Film Organization


What are you giving Dad for Father's Day? -- celebrate with laughs, live theater from London, or a newly released movie at the MV Film Center this coming week.



DAD & CONFUSED - Father’s Day Weekend Comedy! Don’t miss the premiere of Comedian Jim Colliton’s “Dad & Confused!” an evening of clean & side-splitting stand-up comedy hosted by Boston’s GARY MARINO. Colliton has been seen on Comedy Central, NBC, Fox, CBS and airs regularly on Siruis Satellite Radio. National headliner Colliton shares his hysterical stories about marriage, raising kids, and living in the suburbs with other annoying people.



NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE – HENRY V. Fresh to the throne, King Henry V (starring Kit Harington) launches England into a bloody war with France. When his campaign encounters resistance, this inexperienced new ruler must prove he is fit to guide a country into war. Captured live from the Donmar Warehouse in London, this exciting modern production directed by Max Webster (Life of Pi) explores what it means to be English and our relationship to Europe, asking: do we ever get the leaders we deserve?



10th annual FILMUSIC Film Festival begins Thursday June 23rd with a spirited musical film; THE REVEREND: THE MINISTER OF MUSIC with the Reverend Vince Anderson and filmmaker Nick Canfield appearing.  Full music doc schedule online. 



CONTINUING THIS WEEK, MORE SHOWS...

"A New Era" serves up a proper cup of piping hot fan service that many fans will enjoy even more than the first Downton Abbey movie.


¡VIVA MAESTRO!, the uplifting and timely new film from acclaimed director Ted Braun, follows conductor Gustavo Dudamel around the world as he responds to unexpected and imposing obstacles with stirring music-making  that celebrates the power of art to renew and unite people.


THE VELVET QUEEN — In the heart of the Tibetan highlands, multi-award-winning nature photographer Vincent Munier guides writer Sylvain Tesson on his quest to document the infamously elusive snow leopard. Munier introduces  Tesson to the subtle art of waiting from a blind spot, tracking animals, and finding the patience to catch sight of this cat. Through their journey in the Tibetan peaks, inhabited by invisible presences, the two men ponder humankind's place amongst the magnificent creatures and glorious landscapes they encounter along the way.

The Man! The Music! The Magic!



When conductor Gustavo Dudamel’s international tours are disrupted by deadly protests across his native Venezuela, one of the world’s finest and most beloved musicians faces a daunting set of challenges — to his commitment to the mentor who changed his life, to friends and musicians he’s led since his teens, and to his belief in art’s transformative capacity. Viva Maestro!, the uplifting and timely new documentary from acclaimed director Ted Braun, follows Dudamel around the world as he responds to unexpected and imposing obstacles with stirring music-making that celebrates the power of art to renew and unite.



“It takes you on an emotional, uplifting journey across many countries and through civil unrest, with music ultimately winning out over dark forces that would otherwise challenge and limit free expression and art.”
