Dear Friends,

For over 20 years, The Maine Jewish Film Festival has worked to bring films and programs to our Maine community that  depict the global Jewish experience  as a way to  promote understanding and celebrate diversity. This message of building community has never been more important. 

We have two upcoming events with community partners and we hope you will be able to enjoy them along with an event from friends of the Festival (see below).

We hope that you have received our 2018 Appeal Card in the mail and that you will support the Maine Jewish Film Festival with your tax deductible contribution.    Please return your donation envelope or donate  online .  We can't do it without you - thank you.
