The MFA is your opportunity to experience great cinema! From the US, France, Iran, Turkey, Israel, Greece, and more, the Ruth and Carl J. Shapiro Film Program brings more than 300 new films from around the world to the MFA every year. Visiting directors, writers, and producers frequently attend screenings and discuss their work with the audience. See future award winners, discover emerging talent, and watch independent films that may never play again in Boston. Want more?
