MassArt Film Society

Programmed by filmmaker and professor Saul Levine for the past 40 years, MassArt Film Society is one of the longest running microcinema's in the US, every week presenting exciting independent, alternative, and experimental cinema from around the world (often with artists in attendance).

Integrated into the departmental curriculum as a film studies class for MassArt Film/Video Majors, screenings are open to all who are interested in attending.

Shows begin @ 8pm and are usually held on Wednesday evenings. Occasionally we will advertise a show at another venue or even hold film society at another location in conjunction with another venue. Please refer to the schedule and posts on the left for details of each screening and pay attention to any exceptions. Upcoming shows on this blog will be first. You can also find updated programming information on our Film Society facebook page.

Scroll down for this season's schedule and below that you will find information on recent shows. There is also an archive of shows from other seasons under past screenings if you would like to get an idea of what kinds of shows we have been presenting.
