            (Boston Orange綜合報導) 農曆火馬新年在2026年2月17日開春後，大波士頓僑團春宴，照例將由僑團龍頭紐英崙中華公所從2月18日起揭開序幕，接著直至3月30日，陸續共有17個僑團已排定慶祝宴席或私下聚會。

          大波士頓僑社各個團體舉辦盛大宴席，邀集數百，甚至逾千宗親，同胞慶祝農曆新春的傳統，延續已至少數十年，2020年前後的新冠病毒疫情肆虐，一連數年家家戶戶減少出門，棄辦大型聚會後，僑團爭相舉辦饗宴，敲鑼打鼓迎新春的盛況不再。

                  今年來到象徵強烈熱情、快速變化與高行動力的丙午火馬年，大波士頓中華公所麾下33個僑團，包括只私下與同胞宗親的“私宴”在內，也僅只中華公所，梅氏公所（私宴），安良工商會，至孝篤親公所，波士頓國民黨（私下聚會），洪門致公堂，僑聲音樂劇社，台山鄉親聯誼會，藝聯慈善社，黃氏宗親會，三益公所，余風采堂（私宴），梁忠孝堂，波士頓榮光會（私下聚會），至德三德公所，遡源公所，伍胥山公所（私宴）。

            由於大波士頓僑社能夠同時容納數百人的場地有限，這些聚會幾乎清一色的選在帝苑大酒樓舉行。

            包括大波士頓中華文化協會（GBCCA)在Waban 的Zervas小學，波士頓台灣同鄉會在Bedford的John Glenn中學，華夏文化協會在摩頓高中，北京同鄉會在牛頓村Cabot小學已舉辦的農曆新春慶祝會等之外，想要湊熱鬧，參加大波士頓僑團中非中華公所系統僑團所辦活動，感受亞裔社區農曆新春氣氛的人，還可關注2月22日亞協服務中心（QARI）在昆士高中舉辦的馬年新春慶祝會，MIT和哈佛台灣同學會在哈佛校園合辦的新春慶祝會，2月24日麻州亞裔餐飲協會（MARA）在昆士市美華銀行，紐英崙亞美專業人士協會（NAAAP-NE）在波士頓市的Caveau，2月25日新英格蘭台灣同學會聯合會（FTSANE）在波士頓大學校園，2月28日紐英崙中華專業人員協會（NEACP）在華經會大樓，紐英崙客家相期會在牛頓市的波士頓僑教中心，安多福華人協會在Woodhill中學，3月1日麻省理工學院和北大校友會在MIT的Kresge禮堂，包氏文藝中心在該中心Albany街會址，3月6日華人前進會在帝苑大酒樓，3/28日潮州同鄉會在帝苑大酒樓等至少共12個僑團慶祝活動。（更新版）

第26屆波士頓地下影展3/18-22日放映20場

         （Boston Orange編譯）第26屆波士頓地下影展（Boston Underground Film Festival，簡稱BUFF）將於3月18日（週三）至22日（週日），在劍橋市哈佛廣場的布瑞托（Brattle）戲院，以及布魯克蘭鎮（Brookline）庫里吉角（Coolidge Corner）戲院，放映20場影片。

這些影片既有前衛長片、也有優秀短片及聚焦本地影人作品的2組影片。

開幕片為班·維特利（Ben Wheatley）的最新力作，節奏明快、充滿暴力美學，且帶著荒謬幽默感，向經典槍戰片致敬的「正常（Normal）」。曾執導Kill List，Field in England的班·維特利（Ben Wheatley）在這片片中起用了鮑勃·奧登科克（Bob Odenkirk）*主演。鮑勃·奧登科克將親自出席映後 Q&A。

曾入選多倫多影展“午夜瘋狂”單元，當時還在影壇引發轟動話題的恐怖驚悚片「執迷（OBSESSION）」，將作為本次波士頓地下影展的中心大片。

「遺落家庭（Relic）」一片導演Natalie Erika James入選日舞電影節的驚悚片「糖衣（SACCHARINE）」，將是閉幕夜放映的2部影片之一。

經典回顧單元的重心是1986年出品的「德州電鋸殺人狂2（The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2）放映40週年，由恐怖電影周邊與限量服飾品牌商Rucking Fotten贊助，該片演員恐怖電影偶像Bill Moseley將出席映後座談。

今年是BUFF在藝術總監Kevin Monahan，以及項目總監Nicole McControversy執掌近20年，堅持影展的獨特精神，使之擠身為全世界50大類型影展之一後，分道揚鑣的重要轉折年。影展前技術總監Adam Van Voorhis和Phil Healy接手成為影展共同總監。他們還邀庫里吉角戲院的藝術總監Mark Anatasio成為影展的新任藝術總監。

查詢影展詳情，可上網bostonunderground.org，購票可從2月18日中午12點起，上布瑞托戲院網站，brattlefilm.org。

“Echoes of Liberty” Brings Rhode Island’s Icons to Life at Roger Williams Park Botanical Center for America250

“Echoes of Liberty” Brings Rhode Island’s Icons to Life at Roger Williams Park Botanical Center for America250 



PROVIDENCE, RI – As the nation begins its journey toward the America250 centennial, a singular, immersive experience will bridge the gap between our storied past and our living present. On Saturday, March 7, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, TEN31 Productions will present “Echoes of Liberty,” a poignant one-day performance art installation hosted within the lush, glass-enclosed sanctuary of the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center.


This performance is made possible by grant funding of the Providence Tourism Council and support from the City of Providence and the Providence Parks Department.


In a striking juxtaposition of frozen time and fluid motion, five pivotal figures from Rhode Island’s history will emerge among the exotic flora. These are not static monuments, but Living Statues—performers transformed through meticulous costuming and makeup to embody the state’s enduring spirit of independence, innovation, and legacy.


A Convergence of Stillness and Soul


"Echoes of Liberty" invites visitors of all ages to wander through the Botanical Center’s tropical warmth, where the stillness of historical representation meets the vibrancy of contemporary performance. As guests move through the gardens, they will encounter figures representing the pillars of the Rhode Island narrative:


  • Religious Freedom & Independent Thought 
  • Pursuit of Happiness & Immigration 
  • The Birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution 
  • The Early Calls for American Independence 


While these figures appear as statues, they are imbued with a quiet vitality. A subtle shift in posture, a lingering gaze, or a non-verbal interaction will bridge the centuries, offering a deeply personal connection to our collective heritage.


"The work of our foremothers and forefathers lives on; it is a living, breathing foundation, echoing the fight for freedom and equality," says Joe Pari of TEN31 Productions. "By placing these iconic Rhode Islanders within the vibrant, living environment of the Botanical Center in a place created by the people of Rhode Island, we are representing our ancestors as living architects of the freedom we still navigate today in this enduring 'lively experiment' in the pursuit of liberty as it is engraved on the Rhode Island Statehouse."


A Cultural Winter Escape


Thanks to the support of the Providence Tourism Council, this event is a premier tourist attraction and a "winter warm-up," inviting Rhode Islanders and visitors alike to trade the March chill for the invigorated atmosphere of the gardens. It is a rare opportunity to celebrate the America250 milestone through a lens that is uniquely Rhode Island—provocative, artistic, and fiercely independent.


Event Details:


  • What: Echoes of Liberty: A Living Art Installation 
  • When: Saturday, March 7, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM 
  • Where: Roger Williams Park Botanical Center, 1 Floral Ave, Providence, RI 02905
  • Admission:
  • General Admission: $5 
  • Child (6-12), Seniors (65+), & Military (w/ ID): $2 
  • Child (under 6): FREE 
  • Members and Providence Residents: FREE
