Castine is a charming village on the coast of Maine near Acadia National Park with a deep history of arts enrichment. Our inaugural film festival celebrates both emerging and established filmmakers of all ages, featuring narrative and documentary stories.
We will be showcasing short and feature films across genres, with relevant panel discussions, a hosted celebration for filmmakers of our selected films, and special activities for students.
We are excited to connect film lovers and filmmakers in October, and we are happy to help curate your visit to the area. Come for the films, stay to enjoy beautiful autumn in New England.
