Now in its 13th year, the Boston Cinema Census screens short films for its 2015 iteration tonight at the Somerville Theatre. It typically sells out, so be sure to check with the venue about ticket availability before you head out!
“The Boston Cinema Census is an annual screening event . . . In the true spirit of a census, the films presented at the BCC each year span the interests of narrative, documentary and experimental film.” —bostoncinemacensus.com
