FILM - A Place of our own

 Supporting Black cinema, is more than entertainment. Black filmmakers create art that not only centers on deep-seated racial issues but also evokes laughter or tears from audiences. Watching films by Black creators doesn’t have to be an eye-opening, activism-based experience every time. Indulging in diverse media can be an experience to learn more about racial injustice or a chance to take in a new film. 

Known as “Black Hollywood”    

Martha’s Vineyard welcomes filmmakers, industry professionals and film enthusiasts from all over attracting a diverse audience eager to experience the rich storytelling and thought-provoking films that will be showcased. These experiences curate diverse and compelling lineups of films with captivating stories, broad appeal and exceptional technical elements. These moments provide opportunities for first-time filmmakers by amplifying new voices in the industry.

Films and screenings cover a range of thought-provoking topics that have dominated headlines and impactful conversations. 

These moments foster networking business opportunities and intimate meet and greets. 

 Watching movies with other people is a great experience as it will give you the opportunity to know their reactions and to discuss the whole movie with them. People discuss with each other how they love or hate the characters, adore how handsome or beautiful are the characters, predict the next scenes, admit that they have a crush on the actor and sometimes they even relate it to their lives.  All of this can improve your relationship with your peeps!
