The Beanpot 50th Anniversary

About This Movie

The Beanpot 50th Anniversary is like a love letter to Boston's hockey culture. Directed by Ken London, this documentary captures the electric atmosphere of the FleetCenter as fans come together to honor decades of heated rivalries and tradition. The film's pacing is a mix of high-energy game footage interspersed with candid interviews from players and fans alike, giving it a real sense of community. The practical effects are minimal, as the focus is clearly on the raw emotions of the spectators and the athletes. It's fascinating to see how these teams – BU, BC, Northeastern, and Harvard – feed off each other's histories, and the way the film brings that out feels genuine. A nice snapshot of a moment in Boston's sports history.
