Access Film Fest

November  7 - 8, 2025

Access Film Festival brings the best films to Metrowest Boston while showcasing and supporting our local talent! Our festival is an exhibition of inspiring films across all genres, from around the world and right here in our community.

Hosted in the heart of Metrowest Boston in partnership with Access Framingham, it is an exhilarating mix of informative workshops, fresh films, and lively networking events. A festival that is more than a fun time, it’s also an opportunity for filmmakers to expand their network, form new collaborations, and celebrate their work. It’s a chance for the community to experience new films they can’t see anywhere else and learn more about the filmmaking process.
