There is so much to see and do at this year’s Maine International Film Festival (MIFF). Over 10 amazing days audiences can view 100 films, attend award ceremonies and receptions, meet and talk with some of the people behind the movies - directors, producers, writers, musicians who host panel discussions as well as informal Q&A sessions, giving the audiences an incredible chance to hear about the art of film from those on the front lines.
Attendees can also network with representatives from MPBN, the Maine Film Office, Maine Film & Video Association, and Maine Arts Commission.
MIFF 2010 will include nearly 100 films from around the world, including a special series presented in partnership with the American Film Institute’s Project: 20/20, an initiative to bridge cultural boundaries through cinema. Project: 20/20 films screening in Waterville include Sita Sings the Blues (USA), Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo (USA/Japan), and Room and a Half (Russia).
