Woods Hole Film Festival 2024

The 33rd Woods Hole Film Festival kicks off on Friday, July 26 and runs through Saturday, August 3. Festival-goers have the opportunity to see as many feature length and short films as time allows during the 8-day festival! Besides film screenings, there are Q&amp;As with filmmakers, panel discussions, workshops, parties featuring some of the best musical acts from Cape Cod, and master classes, including one with Filmmaker-In-Residence Doug Blush, award-winning director, producer, editor, writer and cinematographer and Oscar winner for such documentaries as 20 Feet from Stardom, The Elephant Whisperers, and Period. End Of Sentence (he also executive produced three of this year’s festival entries, Champions of the Golden Valley, First We Bombed New Mexico and Counted Out). 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. The Festival’s intimate environment and seaside setting provide audience members and filmmakers from around the world the opportunity to watch films together and to engage face to face in thought-provoking and meaningful conversations during the post-film Q&amp;As, as well as on the street—you never know who you might bump into!
