The Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival kicked off last night at St Anthony with three film screenings, a Q&A, and a chilly outdoor after party. Don't worry if you missed out on last night's ceremonies, cause there's roughly 200 films screening at the fest between now and May 5th. If you find the number overwhelming check back here where I'll highlight the best of the fest.
In the meantime, here's what else is playing in the cities:
Take-Up's series on composer Bernard Herrmann continues with its fifth showing. At the Trylon you can catch the 1991 Scorsese film Cape Fear, a remake of the 1962 Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum vehicle. Herrmann's music is only heard in the title, however, while the rest of the score is based off Herrmann's original work made for the original film. A little confusing, but the movie isn't so don't sweat it.

Fri Apr 15 7:00 9:30Sat Apr 16 7:00 9:30
Sun Apr 17 4:30 7:00
If that's not for you, try Uptown for their midnight screenings of Rear Window, the Jimmy Stewart classic that finds him spying on his potentially murder-happy neighbors. There's no Herrmann score in this Hitchcock feature, though. Just unadulterated voyeurism, Hitchcock-style.
