February 2024 Amplifying Voices Film Program

Amplifying Voices brings impactful stories and voices to Beverly, MA through presenting films by and about people of color. These two days of films are curated by ​​Sabrina Aviles and Lisa Simmons—the Executive Directors of Boston’s CineFest Latino Film Festival and The Roxbury International Film Festival.

We hope to make all voices and people feel welcome in our community by uplifting those who are too often marginalized. With the help of the filmmakers as well as civic, arts, and educational organizations across the North Shore, we hope to deepen empathy, expand understanding, and advance important conversations.

Join us for any or all of the films below in our second annual festival.

Cabot members can use their movie passes for any screenings.
