On October 8th in collaboration with the Portland Museum of Art and the Portland House of Music, the Maine Jewish Film Festival will present the film, Sweet Blues, about the legendary guitarist, Mike Bloomfield. "Bob Dylan described Bloomfield as the best guitar player he ever heard," observed MJFF Board V.P. Jamie Isaacson. Through live footage and interviews with legends such as Carlos Santana, Bob Weir, and BB King the film celebrates the life and work of this great Jewish artist. Save the date and look for more information in the coming months about a panel discussion and special musical guests for this extraordinary event.

The 2017 Festival Will Be The 20th!
After an exciting 2016 Festival, the MJFF Board of Directors is already looking ahead to a dynamic year of events.
The Festival Dates for 2017 are March 18-25. "Having it be our 20th is very inspiring," said MJFF Board President Robin Rubinstein, "and challenges us to make it very special." To mark the anniversary year, there are plans to honor the creators, founders and supporters of the Maine Jewish Film Festival. "We expect to have a simcha appropriate to this milestone," Rubinstein noted.
