10HTE: Ben Armington

The San Francisco Bay Area is still home to a rich cinephilic culture nurtured in large part by a diverse array of cinemas, programmers and moviegoers. I'm honored to present a selection of favorite screenings experienced by local cinephiles in 2016. An index of participants can be found here. 

Ten-time IOHTE contributor Ben Armington works with local film festivals as part of BoxCubed.
