Boston is the site of three feature film premieres the next few days as the city hosts the 38th annual Boston Film Festival.

The big picture: The theme of this year's nonfiction films is environmental and wildlife challenges. The festival started yesterday and runs through Sept. 26.

• Movies are playing at the Regal Fenway and the Boston Public Library. Check the schedule for times and tickets.

What they're saying: "For the first time, the BFF also will feature a night of comedy films on Sept. 23 at the Wilbur Theater with 'Bromates,'" a release from the festival organizers said.

The intrigue: The festival launched last night at the Regal Fenway with a screening of "Don't Worry Darling," Olivia Wilde's film with Florence Pugh, Chris Pine and Harry Styles that's caused so much commotion.

• "Darling" opens nationwide today.

Three movies are set to debut:

1. Dude-roommate comedy "Bromates" from executive producer Snoop Dogg and writer/director/New Englander Court Crandall plays at the Wilbur Theater, Boston's stand-up headquarters.
2. "The Wind & the Reckoning," a true story about 19th century Hawaiians' resistance to colonialism amid a leprosy outbreak.
3. "Always, Lola," a drama starring Roxy Striar, who grew up in Newton, about a group of young women discovering secrets about their dead best friend.

And there are two films making their American debuts in Boston:

1. "American Murderer" starring Ryan Philippe and Idina Menzel.
2. An environmental documentary, "The Temptation of Trees."

Lil Draco isn't only a great name for a rapper, it's a great name for this German shepherd mix pup.

• Draco's under six months old, but has spent much of his life so far recovering from hip surgery.

Yes, but: He's "a little bit behind on learning his puppy manners," according to the MSPCA, so he's looking for a home with plenty of play time and puppy patience.

• He would benefit from a grownup dog or dog-savvy cat in the household to show him how to behave.
