Woods Hole Film Festival 2023

The 32nd Woods Hole Film Festival will be fully in person from July 29-August 5, at Redfield Auditorium, Clapp Auditorium, and the Old Woods Hole Fire Station in Woods Hole, as well as the Simon Center for the Arts and Morse Hall at Falmouth Academy; most films will also be available to stream on the Festival’s virtual platform from August 6-13, immediately following the in-person festival\\’s conclusion.

The festival includes 46 feature length and 66 short films—nearly half directed by women—from both first-time and veteran filmmakers, with a focus on films about science, music, films with New England ties, immigration, Black stories on film, and love stories. There are 5 world, 2 North American, and 1 US  premieres, most followed by in-person Q&A’s with the filmmakers and casts. Other activities include workshops, panel discussions, a master class with Filmmaker-in-Residence Allison Otto (The Thief Collector), live music at parties, and an awards ceremony.
