DESCRIPTION:Media in the Movies: a journalism series presented by VTIFF and
  Seven Days in celebration of Seven Days’ 30th anniversary\n\nIntroduced
  by Dan Bolles\, Seven Days culture coeditor\n\nFrom director Joan Micklin
  Silver\, featuring an all-star cast at the beginning of their careers\, B
 etween the Lines spotlights the offices of a Boston alternative newspaper\
 , The Back Bay Mainline\, where the staff members enjoy a positive and ope
 n-minded work environment. \n\nMusic critic Max (Jeff Goldblum) uses his i
 nfluence to score dates\, while news reporter Harry (John Heard) is dating
  the lovely Abbie (Lindsay Crouse)\, the publication’s lead photographer
 . However\, it seems as though their relatively carefree days are numbered
  when the owner of a major publishing company buys the paper.\n\nThe paper
  is supposedly based on Boston’s Phoenix\, where screenwriter Fred Barro
 n worked. Micklin Silver also did her time in the print world\, writing fo
 r The Village Voice in New York. \n\nThis wasn’t Jeff Goldblum’s first
  role (it was\, in fact\, his ninth)\, but it was his first substantial pa
 rt. The movie was the first gig for a number of actors\, including John He
 ard (Cutter’s Way)\, Joe Morton (The Brother from Another Planet)\, and 
 Marilu Henner (Perfect). \n\nThe Guardian called the film “a fond but no
 t uncritical portrait of the disaffected staff at a formerly radical\, fic
 tional alt-weekly Boston newspaper\, from the street-corner hawker all the
  way up to accounts\, editorial and the much-despised incoming corporate b
 oss…Silver’s sympathy for radicalism\, and her deft cutting between di
 fferent pockets of action unfolding in the same space\, lend the film an A
 ltmanesque feel.”
