CALLING ALL FILMMAKERS! The Social Impact Film Festival is returning to Boston in April 2024! After our fall fest in New York, our spring fest in Boston shines a light on emerging filmmakers and students, as well as projects with a focus on local causes.
We are looking for films that look to inspire change throughout our communities - big and small.

• Social Impact Shorts (length limited to <30 mins, but <12 mins is ideal!).
• Student Shorts (includes recent graduates submitting a film made while they were a student, length limited to <30 mins, but <12 mins is ideal!)
• Feature Length Documentaries and Scripted Films (length limited to 30 mins or more, reserved for streaming component of festival).

The Social Impact Film Festival is produced by Entertainment 2 Affect Change, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that connects award-winning content creators, mission-based organizations, and passionate funders who want to share their impact through the power of story.
Thanks to partnerships with agencies and organizations in entertainment and social impact, E2AC On Campus allows dedicated students from around the country to plan, organize, and activate the Social Impact Film Festival, from creating deliverables, conducting outreach, and accepting selections. Find out more at e2ac.org.
All submissions will be reviewed by our judges, many of whom are established in the film industry and will be providing thorough feedback.
Top films will be screened at our upcoming festival in Boston, highlighted on our website and social media page, and may also be streamed on E2AC+, our new Social Impact Streaming Channel, if desired.
The top film as voted on by the audience will be offered the opportunity to work with our organization on an impact campaign and be part of our campus impact screening tour each fall and spring at college campuses around the country.
