History

BOFCA was established in May 2012 with the goal of creating a supportive network for online film critics and amplifying their voices within the broader film community. The association distinguishes itself from traditional print-based critics groups, such as the older Boston Society of Film Critics, by focusing exclusively on web-based criticism.
The group engages with the Boston film community by sponsoring screenings, supporting local festivals, and promoting cinephilia in the area.

Awards

Since its founding, BOFCA has annually presented the Boston Online Film Critics Association Awards, honoring the best films and performances of the year. The awards typically include categories such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and others. Members vote individually, and the association also releases a ranked Top Ten Films list.
