ilm festival: Reelfest DC After four years in Boston, Reel Fest is setting up camp in D.C. with the express mission of "creating a seed-bed for films outside of the mainstream which personify innovation, individuality and daring strokes of bold new cinema." That's a tall order, but at least one Reelfest offering appears to fit the bill: Inventory is a feature-length look at the inner workings of a New England furniture store. Like the retail-class sagas it echoes, Inventory deals principally with the problems of smart people who feel overqualified for jobs that they can barely handle.
