BOSTON SOCIETY OF FILM CRITICS ANNOUNCES
AWARDS CEREMONY
EVENT SET FOR JAN. 13
AT THE BRATTLE THEATER
BOSTON — The Boston Society of Film Critics
(BSFC) will launch its first-ever awards ceremony honoring the best films and
performances of 2007. The event will feature a screening of one of the top
films of the year and an appearance by a special guest. The event will take
place Sunday, January 13, 2008 at the Brattle Theatre, Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA.
The
ceremony, open to the public, includes a cocktail reception at 5 p.m. that will provide attendees with the
opportunity to meet and mingle with Boston’s top film critics. A screening of one
of the BSFC honored films follows at 7 p.m. An invited guest, to be announced,
will engage in a post-screening Q and A with the audience.
Further
details about the ceremony will be announced after the BSFC selects its
end-of-the-year awards on December 9, 2007.
“This
ceremony offers an exciting opportunity for the BSFC to showcase who we are
to the local film community and celebrate film excellence in front of and
behind the camera,” said Loren King, BSFC president. “A few critics groups in
cities such as Los
Angeles
have year-end award ceremonies, but this is a first for Boston. By teaming with the Brattle, we hope
to provide an entertaining event for audiences and lay the groundwork for
future ceremonies.”
Formed
in 1981, the BSFC is made up of 20 professional film critics working in the
print and broadcast media in and around Boston. Members vote for year-end awards in
the following categories: best picture, director, foreign film, actor, actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, screenplay,
cinematography, best ensemble, documentary and best new filmmaker. A BSFC
subcommittee selects the best local programming of the year at non-profit
theaters, institutions and societies.
