City Hall

    From Bucharest to Boston at Waters Edge Cinema

    By

    A new documentary, Collective, about a lethal fire in Bucharest, Romania, and the investigative journalists who uncovered subsequent health-care fraud, is now streaming at Waters Edge Cinema at provincetownfilm.org.

    Another movie that’s ideal for Thanksgiving weekend viewing is the four-and-a-half-hour Frederick Wiseman documentary City Hall, a fly-on-the-wall view of Mayor Marty Walsh and Boston municipal government at work. The 90-year-old Wiseman is a cinema verité pioneer; what better way to view his epic works than at your leisure at home?

    Online rentals cost $12, last for 72 hours, and help keep Waters Edge Cinema funded during the pandemic.

     

    Henry Golding in a Gay Monsoon

    By

    The new film Monsoon, written and directed by Cambodian-born Chinese-British filmmaker Hong Khaou, stars Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding.

    Golding plays Kit, a Vietnamese-British young man who returns to Ho Chi Minh City 30 years after his family fled Vietnam as “boat people,” with his parents’ ashes. There he falls for an American (Parker Sawyers), whose father fought in the Vietnam War.

    The film can be streamed via Waters Edge Cinema in Provincetown, at provincetownfilm.org, for a $12 rental. Several other films are available as well, from Smooth Talk (1985), with a young Laura Dern and Treat Williams, to the new Frederick Wiseman documentary City Hall.

    This event is ongoing.
