Mission and programs · 2022
Primary exempt purpose
The Maine Jewish Film Festival celebrates filmmakinginspiring conversation through the lens of global Jewish experience. Innovative programming invites a diverse statewide audience into the dialogue. Many of our programs include guest speakers, e.g., filmmakers, subjects of documentaries, subject matter experts who rather engage the audience in open conversation. Our primary event, a weeklong film festival is in early November. In addition we will be hosting several weekend "mini" festivals between January and June '24. In programming our events, we partner with non-profit cultural organizations around the state, selecting films with universal themes to appeal to as broad an audience as possible.
-
We program films that address important universal themes depicted through a lens of Jewish experience. Through surveys we know that only about half of our audience identifies as Jewish. The un-polemic nature of the film experience provides a safe and environment in which to challenge preconceptions and open minds. We routinely set aside blocks of tickets for students, educators. In 2022 and early 2023 virtually all of our live programs were shown for free. Over that time, we partnered with the Portland Symphony Orchestra, Portland Museum of Art, The Maine Jewish Museum, the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine, The Parsonage Gallery (Belfast, Maine), Maine Film Center, Maine Jewish Museum, Bates and Bowdoin Colleges, and the Holocaust and Human Rights Center (HHRC). We introduced the HHRC to a film we thought they would want use in classroom setting and worked with the distributor to facilitate the acquisition.
