Film Studies 691F - Film Festival Lab: Creation...

Students will learn the essentials of film festival organization by using the Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival (MMFF) as a detailed case study. Through close study of MMFF's planning and execution, students will learn about each stage of festival creation, from programming to marketing and audience outreach. Additionally, they will actively participate in the festival by co-leading discussions on selected films, fostering an environment of critical engagement and multicultural awareness. This hands-on approach provides students with valuable skills in both event planning and public discourse around cinema.
