The Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival

Despite every possible setback, The Minneapolis/ St. Paul International Film Festival soldiers on, though with fewer films (which is, perhaps, a blessing). Screenings will include Waitress, the comedy hit of this year’s Sundance film festival; it was also, tragically, the directorial debut for Adrienne Shelley, who was murdered soon after completion of this film project. As usual, the festival is the sole Twin Cities venue for a variety of international features, including some from Australia, Bangladesh, and Tunisia, among many others. This year’s festival might also be your last chance to see a movie at the Oak Street Cinema, which still threatens of being on its last legs. 612-331-3134; www.mnfilmarts.org
