The 33rd Woods Hole Film Festival kicks off on Saturday, July 27 and runs through Saturday, August 3. If after eight days you aren’t able to watch all the films you were interested in seeing, or if you can’t make it to the festival in-person, never fear: many films will also be available for streaming on the Festival’s virtual platform immediately following the in-person screenings from Sunday, August 4 through Sunday, August 11!
As the longest-running film festival on the Cape and Islands and one of the oldest in New England, the Woods Hole Film Festival was an early leader in promoting the films and careers of emerging, independent filmmakers, especially those with ties to New England, and specifically Cape Cod and the Islands—a mission that continues to this day.
The Festival’s nearly 1000 submissions were narrowed down to a thought-provoking program of 47 feature-length and 73 short dramas, comedies, documentaries, and animation from 19 countries—with 6 World, 2 US, and 59 New England premieres—by both first-time and veteran filmmakers.
Films subjects range from such topics as family and love to mystery and the supernatural—with everything in-between. The festival’s hallmark thematic strands include films about music and musicians, films about science in conjunction with the Festival’s “Bringing Science to the Screen” program, and films about social and political activism and films with New England connections.
