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.
Program accomplishments
- We strive to make our programs accessible to the widest possible swaths of our community, including free and low-cost tickets to students and educators. In 2023, we partnered with the Portland Symphony Orchestra, Portland Museum of Art, The Maine Jewish Museum, the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine, Maine Film Center, Maine Jewish Museum, Bates and Bowdoin Colleges, and the Holocaust and Human Rights Center (HHRC). Our audience composition reflects our goals of inclusivity and diversity: audiences are split evenly between Jewish and non-Jewish Mainers.Expenses $152,372 · revenue $32,072
