The Roxbury Film Festival is the largest festival in New England dedicated to showcasing films that celebrate people of color. Our mission is to provide an opportunity for audiences to view these works and experience stories often overlooked in mainstream media. While New England filmmakers of color are the focus of the festival, we also screen films by filmmakers from various backgrounds and regions.
The festival is co-sponsored by ACT Roxbury and The Color of Film Collaborative with assistance from The Roxbury Film Festival Planning Committee.
ACT (Arts, Culture & Trade) Roxbury, a program of Madison Park Development Corporation, celebrates culture and the arts by using these resources as valuable assets to foster the physical, economic and social revitalization of Roxbury.

The Color of Film Collaborative is a collaborative made up of people of color and others with an interest in creating and developing positive images of people of color in the media and performing arts. Our mission is to foster, support and create positive images of people of color in film, video, theater and other media, by providing an environment in which filmmakers, actors, performing artists and others with an interest in media, can share and develop their ideas, their visions and their work with peers. The Color of Film Collaborative offers workshops on how to make movies, screenwriting and acting. For more information about The Color of Film Collaborative, visit the website (www.coloroffilm.com).
