The Maine Film & Video Association announced the Portland, ME premiere screening of the Maine Short Film Festival 2017 at Space Gallery Saturday, January 21st at 7pm and a second screening Sunday, Jan 22 at 2pm. The 90-minute program is now touring twelve Maine theaters through May 2017. Each screening will feature a Q&A with several of the filmmakers and jurors. 

The 90-minute program celebrates Maine: its land, its people, and its creative soul, highlighting Maine artists, fisherman, boat builders, wilderness guides, transgender people, and youth in all film genres from many well-known and some new-to-the-scene Maine filmmakers. 

Advance tickets are recommended as last year’s festival sold out quickly: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2738005
