Few things feel as good as being able to welcome you back to our celebration of film. At MIFF, we connect with the creative imagination, thoughts, and experiences of so many talented filmmakers and subjects from Maine and around the world. We have on offer a wonderful lineup of films and exhibitions that reflect upon social issues, love and sacrifice, music and food, cultural awareness, origins and destinies, and life in transition.

We can all likely relate to that last theme. We’re thrilled to be able to reopen the doors of Railroad Square Cinema for the first time in over a year and to return to the Waterville Opera House. For five special nights, MIFF will screen at the Skowhegan Drive-In Theater, and a selection of shorts and features will stream in our Virtual Festival. No matter where you are, I hope you’ll enjoy transformative experiences through film over these ten days.

In Waterville, you’ll notice the ongoing and exciting developments in the downtown area, and I encourage you to support local businesses by making shopping and dining a part of your festival experience. The scenic Kennebec Valley has a host of adventures for you to discover, and I hope you’ll take advantage of the opportunities our region has to offer.

Most important, I look forward to finally seeing you again at the movies.

Mike Perreault Executive Director Maine Film Center
