Mission + History

The Maine Jewish Film Festival is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide a forum for the presentation of films to enrich, educate and entertain a diverse community about the global Jewish experience.

To help fulfill our mission, we have developed successful collaborations with Maine Adaptive Sports and Recreation, Maine ACLU, Portland NAACP, the Museum of African Culture, EqualityMaine, Interfaith Youth Alliance, Holocaust and Human Rights Center and the Cromwell Center for Disability Awareness, among others. We’ve worked with educational institutions such as Maine Media Workshops + College, University of Maine School of Law, University of Southern Maine, MECA,  Bates College and Colby College to present formative and enriching screening events for the entire community.
