COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOL FOR IN-PERSON SCREENINGS

This year, we’re excited to host a hybrid festival with a few in-person (outdoor and indoor) screenings for the following films: How It Feels To Be Free, Memoirs of a Black Girl - w/ Afro, Executive Order - w/ The Last Starship, AILEY, Summer of Soul, and Jingle Jangle. For the full list of in-person screenings, visit here.

We are following the new MFA protocols which you can find here: www.mfa.org/visit. This includes no longer requiring masks but we highly encourage wearing masks for all. For additional caution, we are limiting the number of tickets available for in person screenings to allow for spacing between groups. We encourage you to wear your mask and any additional protection that makes you most comfortable. We are a mask-friendly festival.
