Jamaica and Sewers and Dictators, Oh My: Filmfest D.C.

Lawrencepictures
FOR THE NEXT WEEK, get a little culture at Filmfest D.C.

Yes, film festivals have been a staple of hipster culture for long enough that they aren't cool anymore, but this year's Filmfest D.C. has a host of promising movies, including "Made in Jamaica," which is about reggae (if you couldn't guess; read our feature story here,) and "Basic Sanitation," about some do-gooders who make a horror movie to try to get their community to clean up the local river.

The festival's theme is "Latin American Cinema," and if you take your movie ticket to Ceviche or its sister restaurants, you'll get a free appetizer.
