Established in 2002, the Martha's Vineyard Film Society is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to screening the best in independent films, classics, documentaries, and world cinema. Produces the annual MV International Film Festival in September.
In 2014, the society presented over 200 films, to over 25,500 patrons at various screening venues around the island.
In 2006, the Film Society established the Martha's Vineyard International Film Festival, a 6 days/nights festival of world film and events. More than 3500 people attended last year's festival, bringing together film lovers, artists, writers, and those who make movies. This has become a much anticipated Island event each September (click here for more details).
It also produces several other annual film festivals (Environmental Film Fest in May, FILMUSIC in June, DOC WEEK in August)
In the past 15 years, we've screened over 900 feature films, hundreds of short films, and some of the most critically acclaimed movies of this period and the past at the historic Katharine Cornell Theatre in Vineyard Haven, Capawock Theatre, Vineyard Playhouse, Featherstone Center for the Arts, the Grange Hall in West Tisbury, FARM Institute, the Ag Hall, and Union Chapel and Tabernacle in Oak Bluffs.
