Commendations
To Documentary Educational Resources, for 50 years of distributing, producing, and supporting ethnographic films that foster cross-cultural understanding and empathy, as well as supporting local filmmakers and prioritizing underrepresented voices.
To the Roxbury International Film Festival, which 20 years ago addressed a void in the Boston film scene and has since flourished as a major showcase for filmmakers of color, both established and emerging, and a venue in which Boston audiences can view a wide range of works depicting stories of people of color, set in our city and around the world.
To the Boston Underground Film Festival for 20 years of scouring the dark alleys of the cinematic world for transgressive gems, and bringing home to an appreciative audience the best in film and video high weirdness.
