SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 9:15PM; ST. ANTHONY Director: ??? Prowling the globe to find engaging films to present at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival can be taxing at times, but every once in a while they just fall into your lap. A big time “Distributor,” whose film was a huge, hit at a recent American Film Festival called and wanted us to screen their film. The only caveat for the honor is that we were to withhold all info about the film. No mention of the Director, Title, Storyline, or Actors, in a word, nadda. O.K. we took the bait and swore an oath of secrecy, so that we could bring you this Film known only as “The Secret Film”. We took a chance and you should too, you won’t be disappointed | |
