Critics would like to commend Haden

extraordinary year of programming film series and events. The 2009 schedule has been varied, imaginative
and compelling and has greatly enriched film culture in the Boston area. The Boston Society of Film Critics

and Amy Geller, the director and
producer of "For the Love of Movies" for their timely, eloquent elucidation
and vindication of our beleaguered profession. The Boston Society of Film Critics

alternative to corporate multiplexes. |
