Gasp. No, I’m not writing about Gallaudet. It may be everyone’s favorite topic these few weeks, but you know what?
In a year, no one is going to remember this controversy (except those diehards who can’t let go of their dreams of an Anderson or Rosen administration) and we’ll all be safely esconced in the warm, academic majesty of Gallaudet University’s second deaf presidency.
But you know what you’ll remember next year? These films playing at this week’s Filmfest DC (www.filmfestdc.org).
Eleven theater locations (including a couple of embassies), 70-plus films, in dozens of languages. You know what that means. Subtitles.
So what are you waiting for? Take Metrobus or Metrorail to a couple of these great flicks this weekend. Even better, invite a few Gallaudet students or staff. They’ll appreciate the chance to escape from all this frenzy, too.

thank you adam for breaking the tension and focusing people on another topic. filmfest sounds wicked!! im going….
“Rice Rhapsody” from Hong Kong looks really interesting. Just bummed that I won’t be in town that weekend.
Great find, Adam!
I am somewhat disappointed with this year’s DC Filmfest (20th Anniversary. I do not see any worthy films to patronize.
“Joyeux Noel” and “The Syrian Bride” and “Sophie Scholls” films are really worthwhile to view.
The DC Filmfest Festival always lose $$$ for many years anyway. Too bad, we do not really have the good film festivals in the nation’s Captiol lately.
How come did you or others overlook the DC Independent Film Festival last month?
I hope that the Reel Affirmation Festival for next October at the Lincoln Theatre and DCJCC to be worthy of our time and artistic appreciation.
