Maine Jewish Film Festival

MJFF’s modest beginnings began 1998 in South Portland at Congregation Bet Ha’am with six videos shown on a television set over a weekend. Since then we have presented over 300  films both domestic and foreign, brought more than 70 guest artists from the U.S. and around the world and sold over 30,000 tickets to both Jewish and non-Jewish attendees in venues throughout greater Portland as well in selected sites throughout the state. Portland is the smallest city in the nation to boast an independent, professional Jewish film festival.
