The Maine Outdoor Film Festival (MOFF) curates and produces film experiences related to the beauty, interactivity and complexity of our planet. The festival believes top-notch storytelling and imagery has the potential to broaden perspectives, strengthen relationships, and to foster change within ourselves and our communities. And there’s never been a more important time than now to share diverse voices and viewpoints, ask important questions, provide educational and interactive opportunities to connect, explore and learn about the outdoors.
MOFF’s signature event is the annual flagship festival each July in Portland, Maine. Filmmakers, outdoor aficionados, environmentalists and lovers of art and storytelling converge for outdoor adventure and conservation film in Maine’s cultural hub. Each day, the festival features a panoply of programming including indoor daytime screenings, industry panels, and artist networking events. And each night an outdoor theater is erected: a 20’ inflatable screen with a modern audio and projector system.
