ADVENTURE. CONSERVATION. CONNECTION.

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.
