Lasting through March 27, they’ll showcase 150 films from 40 countries, with 52 filmmaker and 94 special guest appearances. This year there are 80 primers, including the film, “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives,” winner of the 2010 Palme D’Or at Cannes; the multi-award-winning Russian psychological thriller, “How I Ended This Summer”; Werner Herzog’s new film, “Happy People: A Year in the Taiga”; and Chilean documentary filmmaker Patricio Guzmán’s “Nostalgia for the Light.” Most films are free and shown throughout the city.
