7 - 9:30 pm: MAINE OUTDOOR FILM FESTIVAL
Bring your own beverage, picnic and blanket to enjoy an evening under the stars watching independent films by Maine, national and international documentary film makers.
A 9' x 12' outdoor movie screen will be set up in the mowed field on the slope of the hill behind the barn - a natural ampitheater! As this will be the first official week of the Fall season, please plan to bring some extra sweaters or blankets to keep warm and solid shoes for walking in the field.
In case of rain, the show will go on! Rain location will be in the 1904 post & beam barn.
Films begin 30 minutes after sunset (about 7:30 pm).
The film line-up will include the Audience Winner for the 2018 Summer Broke and Stoked short outdoor film contest “Fly Girls” by Phoebe Parker (featuring Edgecomb’s own Brynna Nelson)!
Special Appearance: the Director of "This Place called Nuka", Dave Weich, will be in attendance and available for Q&A after the film.
