About the Festival

Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival 2023

FESTIVAL BROCHURE

The Interdepartmental Program in Film Studies is pleased to present the 30th anniversary season of the Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival, with the theme of “Before After,” bringing together an international selection of films featuring momentous, life-changing events, harkening to the life that came before, and facing the tectonic shifts that occur afterward. This year’s theme also explores experiences in the wake of pivotal moments when the “after” has not yet arrived.  Films this season address the global pandemic, reproductive rights, racial justice, migration, and war, as well as personal relationships, transformations, and victories.  From intimate stories to historical upheavals, from heroic struggles to unforeseen joys, this season features documentary films, narrative features, and series spanning stories from Hungary, South Korea, Uganda, United States, Ukraine, Italy, Israel, Denmark, Chile, Iraq, and Cambodia. The festival hosts six filmmakers present for post-screening discussions. Screenings are accompanied by critical introductions by scholars and filmmakers.

All events are free and open to the public.
