Just Announced: New Partnership

Original, smart, deep. It's the Maine International Film Festival - a rare jewel in the world of American film festivals. For 12 years, The Maine International Film Festival has brought its vision of film and culture to as wide an audience as possible in Waterville, Maine. Now, MIFF@The Music Hall will bring unique and great films and filmmakers to an appreciative, intelligent, sympatico audience.

Here is Music Hall film curator Bill Pence on MIFF:

"Founders and artistic directors Beth and Ken Eisen are experienced and knowledgeable in international film history and business and have a passion for cinema that permeates the festival. And while MIFF is truly abreast of the newest and best in international and American cinema, it also holds dear rediscoveries and tributes to films and artists of cinema's past. On a personal level, MIFF is really fun. Ken and Beth bring to the event their warm and welcoming manner, and, while affording the works of film art the gravitas they deserve, the two directors keep their senses of humor and light hearted approach to the event.
