Founded in 2017, the Harvard Divinity School Film Fest (HDSFF) is an annual student-led festival dedicated to exploring the intersectionality of film and faith. Hosted on the historic Harvard Divinity School campus, the festival is a unique platform that delves into the themes of religion, faith, spirituality, and their relationships to social justice and community. As the only film festival of its kind focused on the academic study of religion and film, HDSFF provides filmmakers and audiences with a rare opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions about how religious themes are represented and understood through cinema. The festival combines academic scholarship with the immersive power of film to foster dialogue, inspire creativity, and deepen understanding.
