The Giving Tree
Making movies takes money. Lots of it. From grants to bakes sales, credit card max-outs to benevolent rich uncles, local filmmakers struggle to come up with the cash.

Camera Buff
Grave, dryly funny, even farcical, Camera Buff is a little-seen but worthy effort from the late Polish master Kieslowski.
Film Reviews
Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
Animated equine love story that's also a fresh take on the standard cowboys-and-Indians tropes.

The Well Inside
In The Well Inside, Sally Jacques' extraordinary site-specific work, dancers suspended high in the air swing and sway and spin, right side-up and upside-down, exhibiting athleticism and daring that take your breath away but also convey an isolation and yearning for connection with amazing grace.
What Goes Up
In their new show What Goes Up, advertising "40 percent new Idiocy," those juggling, bantering fools the Flaming Idiots incorporate a Sam Hurt cartoon, giant puppet limbs, and lots of audience participation for a family-friendly show guaranteed to get you on your feet and clapping.
Dinner With Friends
The State Theater Company's production of Dinner With Friends brings into crystalline focus the many facets of friendship and love that playwright Donald Margulies has exposed in his Pulitzer-winning script, and does so with crisp timing, finely blended humor, and moments of genuine theatrical honesty.

Mike Tyson's a punk who doesn't deserve the cover of Sports Illustrated; the Spurs and Mavs are pretenders who don't deserve better than they got; and baseball fans … well, they deserve a league that can deal with its labor problems
