We’ve been working at Arlington Int'l Film Festival for twelve years and every day we are reminded of the generosity of the Arlington and greater Boston community... their incredible dedication to keeping the art of independent filmmaking alive in Arlington and Massachusetts. After the weight of the Covid-19 pandemic came crashing down on the film festival industry, AIFF is coming back to the Capitol Theatre in November... stronger than ever! To ensure a home-run kind of Festival year we still need your help and ask that you please consider a donation. THANK YOU -----------------------------------------------
