Entering its seventh year, the Independent Film Festival of Boston furthers the variety and extent it has ably established in its previous iterations. 2009’s festival is a day longer, and expands into an additional venue—the Institute of Contemporary Art on Boston’s south shore. As per usual, the lineup is screened predominantly at the Somerville Theater, and the program plays like a “Best of” the recent festival circuit, including the requisite SXSW holdovers (Winnebago Man, Make-Out with Violence, Pontypool), a robust shorts program, and a generous variety of nonfiction features. Despite this, there remains a trend toward films of topical interest to Boston: Children of Invention, Blood, Sweat & Cheers, Chip on My Shoulder, For the Love of Movies (made by local critic Gerald Peary), I Need That Record!, and Luckey. With these and many, many other offerings, the IFFB continues to develop a recognizeable identity within the festival circuit. The 2009 Independent Film Festival of Boston runs from April 22–28.
