I volunteered at the theatre and had the privilege of watching films, and meeting moviegoers from all across the country. MVAAFF is a great opportunity to meet students, producers, artists, actors, and filmmakers from novice to mainstream, but it is more than just a film festival. It is a celebration of Black Northeast culture and the people who make it.

With exclusive off-site events, ticket and pass holders could attend parties and special dinners to meet with directors, sponsors, and special guests. The festival offered 7am Yoga, and there was a Polar Bear plunge every morning led by some of the local members. I joined in the Polar Bear plunge and watched the sun rise over the Atlantic while exercising in the cold water to get warm. It was a full-body workout, and one I am sure will keep you young at heart!
