O’Malley’s ‘Certainty’ to open Boston film fest

The Boston Film Festival announced its lineup yesterday, and it looks promising. The fest, which takes place at the Stuart Street Playhouse Sept. 16-22, kicks off with the world premiere of “Certainty,’’ written by Mike O’Malley and starring Giancarlo Esposito, Adelaide Clemens, Tom Lipinski, Bobby Moynihan, Valerie Harper, and Tammy Blanchard. (O’Malley and at least a few of the actors will be here.) Another highlight of opening night will be “After Fall, Winter’’ from director/writer/actor Eric Schaeffer.
