The IN-PERSON program will run from June 20 - June 28, 2024 and the ROXFILM@HOME (ONLINE) program will run from June 27 - July 2, 2024.

There are separate festival passes for the in-person and the online programs - please purchase both if you want access to all screenings and events.

We will have Q&A sessions with filmmakers, Daily Script Reads, hangouts, panels, and additional events. There will also be some free screenings and special events.

Film screenings and events will take place across various venues. Double-check your tickets and the festival schedule to ensure you are going to the correct venue.

You can find venue addresses and visitor information here.

All times are in Eastern Standard Time.

Please note that you must be in the United States to rent an online film.

Visit the 2024 Film Guide (coming soon!) to find a list of the films in alphabetical order.

We have asked local screenwriters to submit works in progress and have brought in professional actors to read the scripts and give feedback.  The read is a great way to hear new work, support local writers and actors and learn about the script writing process. You as an audience member will have the opportunity to ask questions as well. It’s free to participate.

The schedule, links, and bios of the filmmakers and a list of actors  to the daily readings can be found on the 2024 Festival page once available.

Unfortunately, many independently made films are not always captioned or subtitled. However, we are currently collecting information as to which films are and will list that on the 2024 Film Guide (coming soon!).

The films in the ROXFILM@HOME (online) program have been curated to watch in blocks. There are short films that precede features and shorts blocks created by theme.

For the best viewing experience, they should be watched by block. When you buy a ticket to that block, you will have access to all the films in that block.

Online films are available to watch from 10:00 am on June 27th to 11:59 pm on July 2.

For additional information on renting and streaming, please see the RoxFilm@Home page (coming soon!) here.

Unfortunately, no. Our streaming platform has all films geolocated in the United States so only devices located in the U.S. can stream the films.

Most Q&As in the festival will be held in-person after the screenings. Other Q&As will be held live online or pre-recorded and be uploaded online afterwards as well.

Check out our YouTube page here for any recorded Q&As.

The Local Eats and Drinks page highlights our favorite, mostly POC-owned, food and drink businesses for people to patronize during the Festival if you are looking to turn your movie viewing experience into a classic RoxFilm Dinner & A Movie experience.

The Roxbury International Film Festival follows the guidelines of the venue location of each screening and event. At this time, there are no additional required protocols specific to the venues, however, RoxFilm is a mask-friendly festival and encourage you to to wear your mask and any additional protection that makes you most comfortable.
