The 26th Annual Provincetown International Film Festival took place June 12 through 16, 2024. It also overlapped perfectly with a family wedding weekend in Truro. My partner and I landed at our tiny beachfront cabin Thursday night just as the rehearsal dinner was getting underway next door.
Since no one expected to see us until sometime Friday, we two SuperAunts tiptoed over to Provincetown. We enjoyed a pop-up dining experience that included lobster dumplings in a ginger lemongrass broth with wild mushrooms and scallions, as well as a peach and burrata starter that came with fried bread on a bed of fine herbs and mascarpone. There were oysters and veggie vindaloo, too, all with a harbor view.
I mean, I have never heard anyone talk this way about rehearsal dinner fare, but maybe that’s just me. Anyway, I was super psyched to sit poolside for a special screening of “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” at Crown & Anchor afterwards. Some things never get old, and this throwback flick is a perfect example.
Friday morning we caught “ Mad About the Boy: The Noël Coward Story ,” which I believe will be of special interest to William P. Perry of “Anyone for Tennyson” fame in this space . Unfortunately, this excellent documentary has no U.
S. release date yet, but you can sign up here to be notified when it does. On Saturday, we caught “ Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge ,” a completely captivating breath of fresh air which I adored.
You can watch this no.
