These cinematic treasures – both historic and contemporary – are pulled from the Boston Public Library’s vast media collection. Organized into monthly themes, the series highlights the local people and places that have lured Hollywood and independent filmmakers to Massachusetts over the years.

All film screenings for Made in Massachusetts will take place in Rabb Lecture Hall, which is wheelchair accessible. Assistive listening devices are available. To request a sign language interpreter or for help with other special needs, call 617.536.5400, extension 2295 or 617.536.7055 (TTY) at least two weeks before the program.
