Mission
The Maine Jewish Film Festival celebrates filmmakinginspiring conversation through the lens of global Jewish experience. Innovative programming invites a diverse statewide audience into the dialogue. Many of our programs include guest speakers, e.g., filmmakers, subjects of documentaries, subject matter experts who rather engage the audience in open conversation. Our primary event, a weeklong film festival is in early November. In addition we will be hosting several weekend "mini" festivals between January and June '24. In programming our events, we partner with non-profit cultural organizations around the state, selecting films with universal themes to appeal to as broad an audience as possible.
