Film Studies 296F - IS-MAMulticulturalFilmFestival

Join the audience of students, faculty, and area community at the annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival with films and directors from around the world introduced by leading scholars and filmmakers. This season's theme, "Imagine Better," gathers films from around the world with creative, often startlingly original visions for the future, works that rethink approaches to myriad environmental and cultural challenges, and films that imagine alternatives to familiar patterns of thinking and being. The first and longest-running University-based film festival of its kind, the MMFF brings the best of new fiction, documentary and experimental filmmaking by international filmmakers and seeks to cultivate an appreciation of film and moving image media, to inspire audiences to a deeper understanding of the world's cultures through film, and to celebrate past, present and future achievements of international filmmaking in a university setting. You will attend festival screenings and participate in online discussions with other students about what most interested, inspired, surprised you about the filmmakers, filmmaking, and the subject matter of works programed in this season's festival.

The first event in 2020 will be on Wednesday, February 26.
