The Cutting Edge

The major innovative series for the HFA this June-July summer is a weekly program of Boston theatrical premieres of new films from the US, Canada, and Europe. These films "push the envelope" in terms of content and/or storytelling. They are as vigorous and original as they are boldly controversial. (They have been chosen by Acting Curator Gerald Peary, from his trips to film festivals around the world.) There are nine programs in all, and a discount series pass for $40 for the public, $35 for university students will be available at the box office.
