The Independent Film Festival of Boston (IFFBoston) will hold its 9th edition April 27-May 4, 2011. IFFBoston has been recognized by the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Boston Phoenix, and the Boston Society of Film Critics as the premier film festival in the Greater Boston area. Over 20,000 people attend the 8-day festival each year. The festival takes place at the most historic arthouse venues in the Boston area; The Somerville Theatre, The Brattle Theatre, The Coolidge Corner Theatre, and the new Stuart Street Playhouse. Adam Roffman has served as Program Director since the festival's inception. In addition to programming IFFBoston, Adam has produced three features that premiered at SXSW (Alex Karpovsky's WOODPECKER and TRUST US THIS IS ALL MADE UP and Garth Donovan's PHILLIP THE FOSSIL) and has worked directly with filmmakers such as Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Ben Affleck, Denzel Washington, and Martin Campbell as an On-Set Dresser.
