The Cabot has been showing movies for 103 years. It’s time for a new—more diverse—chapter of storytelling.

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 CineFest Latino Boston and The Roxbury International Film Festival.

Amplifying Voices Film Program hope to make all voices and people feel welcome in the 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, Amplifying Voices Film Program hope to deepen empathy, expand understanding, and advance important conversations.

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