About Us

The Bowdoin Film Society is a tightly-knit group of cinephiles and filmmakers dedicated to cultivating and maintaining a thriving filmmaking community on campus. The society lies at the heart of cinema culture here at Bowdoin College, from film production to screenings to discussions. BFS meets weekly during the academic year to discuss programming and projects. Currently, the society screens films every Friday for the campus and hosts a student film festival, the 48 Hour Film Festival, every spring. Programming is the primary focus of our group, with the continued goal of screening a variety of films including under-appreciated cinematic gems and Hollywood blockbusters. Join BFS on CampusGroups to receive club emails and learn more about the film production opportunities we'll be facilitating this year!
