What is the overall purpose or mission of your organization? What is the principal focus of your organization's projects and work?
ACT Roxbury and the Color of Film Collaborative are currently planning the 7th Annual Roxbury Film Festival: Celebrating the Vision & the Voice of New England Filmmakers of Color. This is a four- day event scheduled to take place August 17 - 21, 2005. In just six short years, The Roxbury Film Festival has become the premier festival for films by and about people of color, attracting prominent filmmakers and artists both from New England and outside the region. In August, 2004 we enjoyed our largest audience yet with with more than 3,000 attendees viewing 51 films and documentaries. The Festival also includes a number of workshops, Q&A sessions with filmmakers and an actors workshop along with pre and post Festival events.
