This week I talked with Rick McCarthy, President of the Board of Directors of the Provincetown Film Society about the Provincetown International Film Festival that runs June 14th to June 18th in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

The experience of walking the red carpet while cameras are flashing in Cannes may still be elusive for most, but enjoying a film festival experience, meeting filmmakers, celebs and going to parties is certainly not a totally exclusive realm for the privileged few. There is scarcely any time on the calendar when there is not a film festival happening somewhere, and quite often, there are many. Each event has its own characteristics, so each will cater to a crowd.

The Provincetown International Film Festival (PIFF) has announced that Academy Award-winning writer/director Sofia Coppola will be named the 2017 Filmmaker on the Edge. Coppola will be in attendance to accept the award in conversation with resident artist John Waters on Saturday June 17th at Provincetown’s historic Town Hall.

In nods to women in film, Academy Award-winning writer/director Sofia Coppola and Oscar-nominated actress Chloe Sevigny will receive awards in June at the Provincetown International Film Festival.

Women filmmakers can get inspired by this year’s 19th Provincetown International Film Festival (PIFF) running from June 14th to June 18th, the line-up is bursting with women both in front of and behind the camera. We hear so much about the importance of inclusion and PIFF has got it right.
