Congratulations Filmmakers!
We are excited to have you be a part of ROXFILM that will take place June 20 - July 2nd, 2023. We have curated both an in person and an online festival (ROXFILM@Home). Films will be screening at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Hibernian Hall, Roxbury; and Northeastern University. We have over 70 films in this year’s lineup, and we have created opportunities for Q & A’s and panels for you to participate in as well as filmmaker hangouts.
We are working closely with all of our venues to create a great cinematic experience with our in-person and online programming. We understand the hard work and dedication that went into making your film, from script to post and we are committed to giving your work the best screening experience possible.
Information regarding festivities and tickets will be provided the first week of June and will be accessible on our website roxfilmfest.com under the filmmaker tab. Once the website is live, we will send an email to review the description of your film so that we can make any changes necessary.
