DAVIS SQUARE AND BUFF

After six years of having the Boston Underground Fim Festival all over town, risking parking tickets and wasting gas, and splitting the audience, why didn't it occur to me earlier to consolidate all activities in one place? I sort of had this earlier when I ran most of BUFF at the old Revolving Museum in Fort Point Channel, but Ive never been able to recreate it. Not only has David Square become festive in its own right, but it is perfect for BUFF. We'll have two screens at the Somervile Theatre, for 35mm and DVD, eith Jimmy Tingle's on 38 Cameron for panels and special video presentations, and Someday, the Burren and the legendary Johnny D's ffor handing out. And that spacious lobby of the theatre is terrific for festival headquarters. Now all we have to do is find the money.
