Past Films of the Week

May 7:	"Don" Almost seven years to the day after our first-ever 48HFP on May 6, 2001, and in honor of the Rome 48 Hour Film Project, which kicks off this weekend, we bring you a tale of a man trapped in a fantasy world, who believes he is Don Quixote de la Mancha. Perhaps, though, it is not a fantasy world after all... In Italian with English subtitles. [Rome, 2007]
Apr 30:	"The Kumbio Takedown" In honor of our largest city, Washington, DC (which kicks off this weekend!), we bring you the winner of the DC 2007 48 Hour Film Project. "The Kumbio Takedown" is a wickedly funny film featuring two detectives hot on the trail of a mafia kingpin, but whose attention is occupied by an entirely different issue which is much more...intimate. [Washington, DC, , 2007]
Apr 23:	"TimeCatcher" The best 48 Hour Film Project of 2007, "TimeCatcher" is about a superhero who--just by looking at people--can tell how much longer they have to live. We join him for the final few minutes of his own life. In Hebrew with English subtitles. [Tel Aviv, 2007]
Apr 16:	"Tooth and Nail" The best 48 Hour Film Project of 2006, "Tooth and Nail" tells the story of a Senator haunted by a horrific revelation: he's a vampire! Take a break from the 2008 election and follow the wickedly funny reelection campaign of an undead politician. [Portland, Oregon, 2006]
Apr 9:	"The Guts and the Glory" Still in honor of the Boston 48 Hour Film Project (which premiered 87 films between 4/8 and 4/15), "The Guts and the Glory" shows us a small town in the midst of a zombie attack—with a surprising twist. You'll like it even if you don't usually like horror films. Be sure to watch through the end credits! [Boston, 2006]
Apr 2:	"Pitch Imperfect" In honor of the Boston 48 Hour Film Project (which kicked off the 2008 Tour on April 4th), "Pitch Imperfect" is a warm and lively film in which English teacher Mr. Withers tries to convey to his unrequited love what she's meant to him for the past four years. [Boston, 2005]
Mar 26:	"Breakin' Bread" "Breakin' Bread" is a zany and hilarious retelling of the Last Supper in which John gets a little help from Matthew, Mary Magdaline, Peter, V. Kirk, and Judas to throw a party for Jesus. [Las Vegas, 2005]
Mar 19:	"Owensville" "Owensville" is a brilliant and sweet family film in which two very unusual people form a friendship that changes their lives forever. [Washington, DC, 2006]
