The Massachusetts Space Film Festival is an annual event held as part of Massachusetts Space Week, a week-long celebration organized by The Space Consortium. Launched in 2017, The Space Consortium is an MA-based 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to democratizing space knowledge and fostering enthusiasm for space science. The festival, along with other events such as a Space Careers Fair and workshops, aims to bridge the gap between academia and the broader community, making space science accessible to all.
