"Wordplay" - Jun 25th

Join the Boston Sunday Night Film Club this Sunday, Jun 25th at 5:10pm for Wordplay at the Kendall Square Cinema . Look for Sean wearing a nametag in the theatre lobby about 15 minutes before the film. As always, after the film we will descend on a local establishment for dinner/drinks/discussion.

The man most associated with crossword puzzles is New York Times puzzle editor and NPR puzzle-master Will Shortz. Director/co-writer Patrick Creadon introduces us to this passionate hero, and to the inner workings of his brilliant and often hilarious contributors, revealing the process and allure of this uniquely American pastime. The odyssey leads to the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, an annual challenge founded by Shortz which is as much about community and camaraderie as it is about competition. Featuring interviews with celebrity crossword puzzlers such as Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, Jon Stewart, Ken Burns and Mike Mussina.
