'Girltalk' tonight!

As part of the celebration of Big Screen Boston's release, tonight there will be a screening of Kate Davis' phenomenal 1987 documentary Girltalk, a very intimate, dramatic look at three Boston teen runaways  (at left is one of them, Mars). The movie hasn't been shown locally in years and is not as yet on DVD. The screening starts at 8 pm at the Brattle Theater in Harvard Square, and I'm very happy that Martha, one of the movie's subjects, will be on hand to talk about the movie, too.
