Grab your lawn chair, bring a friend and meet us at MOFF!

Each night of our six-day summer festival, we’ll be showing short films outdoors that celebrate adventure, conservation, and life outside.

Our outdoor screenings sold out across the board last year, so don't wait too long to snag a ticket if there’s one you've got your eye on. Want to make a week of it? Grab an OUTDOOR PASS, which provides you entry into every outdoor screening during our Flagship Festival.

Tickets, passes and the full schedule are available at our website: https://maineoutdoorfilmfestival.com/2026-flagship/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2026_ticket_launch

Catch you out there soon!

Join MOFF in celebrating the exceptional talent of independent filmmakers working in and from our great state, on August 21 and 22 outdoors on the Eastern Promenade.

ANNOUNCING THE MAINE FILMMAKER SHOWCASE!

Bringing together both established and emerging filmmakers, this special programming is a departure from MOFF's traditional themes, and instead ranges from feature music documentary to short narrative, from conservation-focused stories to interpretive short films, all made in Maine or by Maine filmmakers.

We're pleased and proud to present the following films:

August 21
The PREMIERE of THE GHOST OF PAUL REVERE: GHOSTS NEVER DIE by Windwood Productions

August 22
AGAINST THE ROPES by Smooth Feather
NORTH OF ORDINARY by Sibyl Patten
LITTLE DIPPERS by Michael Mallen
KENNEBEC RISING by Derek Dodge

…And more TBA!

MOFF has been bringing outdoor adventure and conservation films to Mainers where they are since the festival’s very first screening in The Forks back in 2012.

Our team is proud to partner with organizers in over 20 Maine towns to bring MOFF to Mainers where they are this late summer and early fall.

Head to our website to see where MOFF is headed on the Selects Tour following our Portland festival: https://maineoutdoorfilmfestival.com/selects-tour-2026/

Remember, all of these screenings will have a completely different set of films, so be sure to stay tuned for when the films are announced later in the year. See you out there friends!

Are those high 60s in the forecast?!

Soon we'll be reminded of the magic in Maine's summer evenings with pink sunsets, soft grass beneath our bare feet and the smell of salty air as we gather with our community on this extraordinary piece of coastline.

We hope you'll join us in spending time in the very nature that inspires our festival -- as we'll end every night of our 6-day run with an outdoor screening by the water of short adventure and environmental films.

Passes to our 2026 summer festival are available now: https://maineoutdoorfilmfestival.com/2026-passes/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2026_pass_launch

See you OUTSIDE July 21-26 🌳
