Seventeen years strong and back with a vengeance, the BUFF kicks off today with an assortment of the strangest, most mind-bending and downright surreal films local independent filmmakers have to offer.

In case you’re not up to speed with the thrilling, fast-paced world of art news, this past January the Commonwealth of Massachusetts teamed up with the MFA to open up a time capsule that had been buried below the State House in 1795 by local Boston celebrities Sam Adams, Paul Revere, and Col. William Scollay. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to behold its cool old contents before it’s taken away at the end of April.

Cheers.

Piper Kerman

This year’s recipient of the Humanist Heroine of the Year Award from the Humanist Community at Harvard—presented annually to a woman who embodies their motto of “Connect. Act. Evolve.”—goes to Piper Kerman, that lady who wrote a book about how hard it was for an upper-class white girl to survive in prison, and subsequently inspired one of the best TV shows on the Internet. All joking aside, Kerman has used her fame to promote education and prison-system reformation initiatives, and will give a talk about her experiences and activism.

 

Harvard Science Center. 1 Oxford St., Hall B, Cambridge. 8pm/all ages/$14.50, $4.50 students. For more information, visit harvardhumanist.org
