2021 was a wonderful year for us. We saw fans come back to the festival to enjoy a program of all original documentary films both long and short from around the world to even on our own backyard.
In year 3 we are confident we will once again offer an amazing event for both fans and filmmakers as we continue to build upon an already budding reputation as a "go to" festival in New England.
ALL FILMS MUST BE BASED ON A TRUE STORY OR REAL EVENT! PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT ANY FILMS THAT ARE FICTIONAL WITH NO PERSONAL OR HISTORICAL NARRATIVE, THEY WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
Once again, we will be screening the entirety of the festival at the historic Lincoln Theater where movies have been showing since the early 20th century on one of the largest screens in the state. The theater has recently gone through extensive renovations, seats over 200 people and sits smack dab in the middle of beautiful downtown Damariscotta.
Damariscotta is in the heart of MidCoast Maine, one hour from Portland and three hours from Boston. From its world-class oysters and brewpubs to its scenic coastline and with a thriving arts community it will seem like a place born to host a film festival.
Our submission fees remain affordable so filmmakers are given the opportunity to have their films considered regardless of their current financial situation.
