Special Edition: Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival 2026

March 9, 2026

 

The 26th annual Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival (MVFF) will take place March 25–29, 2026 and all screenings are pay-what-you-can. Circuit Arts, the nonprofit arts organization that presents it, is thrilled to once again celebrate the power of cinema with the Island community. This year’s festival film screenings will be held at two venues: the Grange Hall in West Tisbury, and Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse in Vineyard Haven.

The festival’s film lineup includes documentary and narrative features, three programs of short films, including the ever-popular Vineyard Shorts program, and discussions with filmmakers, film subjects, and other special guests. Tickets are currently live at tmvff.org

THE FILMS

Over the past 26 years, the MVFF has brought together filmmakers, storytellers, and audiences for a celebration of film, conversation, and community. This year’s festival continues that tradition with a dynamic lineup of films, special guests, and discussions that explore compelling stories.

Here are some of the featured films. The full lineup is available at tmvff.org.
