Voices & Visions ()

Festival start: 26 October 2024      Festival end: 26 October 2024

Introducing the brand-new Voices and Visions Film Festival, an integral part of the second annual New England Voice Over (NEVO) Casting & Coaching Conference on Saturday, October 26th!

Our festival is dedicated to celebrating a diverse range of voices and visions that can breathe life into the world of cinema. With 20 distinct film categories, we provide a platform for both emerging and established storytellers to share their unique narratives.

At Voices and Visions, we believe in fostering an inclusive environment that showcases artistry from every corner of the industry, all over the globe. From sci-fi to docu-shorts to horror and beyond, our festival encourages exploration and discovery of the rich tapestry of diverse voices and visions that shape the world of film.

Our Children & Family Friendly section will be presented earlier in the day, separate from the adult offerings. It will be celebrating the voice and vision of film creators under the age of 18, giving them their own unique spotlight.

Secure your spot for this unforgettable weekend, as we showcase an array of stories that transcend genre and form. Join us in celebrating the power of diverse perspectives and the boundless potential of storytelling. If your submission is accepted, we guarantee it will be shown at some point during the NEVO weekend. If you have registered for a ticket to NEVO, your film festival entrance will be free. If you do not come to NEVO, you will have to purchase a ticket separately to the festival only.
