EARLY SPRING 2026
IT’S FESTIVAL SEASON!
For cinephiles, spring brings something arguably more important than warmer weather… March brings the beginning of film festival season to Boston! As usual, The Brattle will be hosting events with Boston Underground Film Festival, Wicked Queer, and Independent Film Festival Boston. Plus, we celebrate one of our favorite actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Age, Katharine Hepburn, throw back to our first year as a non-profit, and bring two gorgeous ‘90s vampire films in new 4K restorations! And, of course, there is so much more, including our annual Muppet Madness program on Marathon Monday!
The Brattle’s new EARLY SPRING 2026 calendar arrives from the printer soon! Can’t wait to get your hands on a copy? Check out the online calendar or download a PDF.
