Three reasons why Tufts Film Series wants you to see the Lord of the Rings trilogy:
1. The trilogy collectively won 17 Oscars, with Return of the King winning eleven, the highest number of Oscars an individual film has ever won.
2. By the end of the shoot, eight members of the Fellowship got tattoos of the Elvish number 9 on various parts of their bodies. John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) reportedly sent his stunt double to the tattoo parlor instead.
3. The entire trilogy took US$285 million and 8 years to produce. 48,000 items were made for the shoot, including 2000 weapons, 1000 suits of armor, 10,000 facial prosthetics, and 1800 hobbit feet.

Our motto is: Free Movies. Big Screen. Every Weekend.
Tufts Film Series has been showing movies to the Tufts community since 1982. We're Tufts undergraduates who choose, manage and project 35mm films. We train other students how to operate theater-grade equipment! With co-sponsorship, we also host free movie events all across campus. We want to bring Tufts students together in a relaxed environment, through the love of movies. Read up more about us or get in touch.
