The Maine International Film Festival (MIFF) is a 10-day annual event held in Waterville, Maine, typically in the third week of July. Founded in 1998, the festival showcases a diverse selection of American independent, international, and repertory cinema, with a particular emphasis on films related to Maine and New England. A project of the Maine Film Center, MIFF provides audiences with opportunities to engage with filmmakers through panel discussions and Q&A sessions. The festival also presents awards such as the Audience Favorite Award and the juried Tourmaline Prizes for Maine-made films.
