AMPLIFYING VOICES

March 12-13, 2026 | The Cabot (286 Cabot St, Beverly, MA 01915)

Amplifying Voices brings impactful stories and voices to the North Shore, and beyond, by presenting films made by and about people of color. These two days of films are curated by Sabrina Avilés, Executive Director of CineFest Latino Boston and Lisa Simmons, Executive Director of The Roxbury International Film Festival.

We hope to make all voices and people feel welcome in our community by uplifting those who are too often marginalized. With the help of the filmmakers as well as civic, arts, and educational organizations across the North Shore, we hope to deepen empathy, expand understanding, and advance important conversations.

Amplifying Voices screenings are free and open to the public.

Be sure to check out RoxFilm Festival Selections SEA CHARM, FOU, and RO & STARDUST in the lineup!
