Harvard Film Archive

The Harvard Film Archive provides the faculty and students of Harvard University and the greater scholarly community with academic research services and a public film program that offers audiences the opportunity to view international and independent films and to interact with filmmakers and artists.

Film series are scheduled year-round and include retrospectives of distinguished directors and actors, surveys of important periods and movements, and in-depth explorations of historic themes and contemporary issues. Screenings of films from the HFA collection as well as those from other collections are held in the HFA Cinematheque, a 210-seat theater with state-of-the-art equipment.

The HFA frequently brings renowned artists, photographers, and filmmakers to introduce and discuss their work.
