Come see a movie

Linguistics at the Sundance Film Festival? We just heard about this a few days ago. The Linguists is a new movie about the extinction of languages around the world, following David Harrison and Gregory Anderson as they go on three expeditions to document languages that are nearly gone. Hollywood Reporter loved it. The movie is playing three times in the next couple of weeks around Boston, a free screening at MIT and twice as part of the International Film Festival Boston:

April 24, 7:00-8:30 pm, MIT, free screening and discussion with David Harrison (details)
April 26, 12:00-1:15 pm, Brattle Theatre (details)
April 28, 5:15-6:30 pm, Somerville Theatre (details)

If you’d like a free ticket for the April 28 showing at the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square courtesy of Cascadilla Press, send us an e-mail by April 17 with your name and mailing address. (If you did not receive a reply from us, post a comment here.) There are a limited number of tickets that we can buy for this showing, so please only request a ticket if you will definitely use it.

Update: We’ve placed our ticket order, and we’ll be mailing out the tickets to everyone who requested them on April 22. See you at the movie!

If there's any way to get 3 tickets for the monday show of The Linguists, please let me know. I'd like to take my daughter (11 years old) and her friend. I was out of town so I missed your deadline... Thank you,
Janet Randall
