Camden International Film Festival (CIFF)

The Camden International Film Festival is committed to supporting and generating interest in independent documentary films, showcasing the finest international documentary cinema from the lenses of the world’s best non-fiction visual storytellers. CIFF is dedicated to creating an environment miles away from distractions that promotes thought provoking examination of documentary film as an art form as well as an outlet for the independent and informed voice.

In just four short years, over 100 documentary films, both features and shorts, and 50 regional premiers from over 20 countries have been screened in beautiful and unique venues in Camden, Rockport and Rockland, Maine. Screenings are followed by intimate Q&A sessions with directors and industry professionals. Festivities over the weekend include panels, workshops, photographic exhibits, musical concerts and exclusive parties.

The CIFF experience is based around the filmmaker; audience interaction. We pride ourselves on creating a platform for filmmakers to share their work in front of eager audiences in state of the art theatres, while also providing our keen audiences with an unparalleled opportunity to connect with independent filmmakers.

Each year our festival grows, but the CIFF experience remains the same. We highlight the industry’s emerging talent, paying homage to the year’s best documentary films, allowing our audiences the opportunity to experience thought-provoking and insightful documentary cinema that offers a unique or unheard perspective on our world.
