There is the unmistakable mark of fall in the cool evenings returning to Manhattan and that means just one thing: almost time to make the yearly pilgrimage up the coast to the motherland for the weekend of documentary films, music, food, dancing, partying, heated debate and camaraderie that is the Camden International Film Festival.

This is the first summer in 5 years that I’m not involved with the event’s production but continue to serve on the advisory board and could not be more proud of the event Ben Fowlie and his amazing team have put together – Arlo Jamrog, Emily Qualey, Jon Laurence, Dominic Musacchio, Catherine Weiss, Geoff Parker, Sarah Ruddy, Kate Cox, Kelly Hailey, Jenna Lookner, John Welliver, Mariah Lussier – who knew mid-coast Maine held so many talented folk.

Well, the secret’s out.

Started with the spark of imagination and sustained by the support of a true community, CIFF continues to do all that a great film festival should: honoring documentary filmmakers for the story-tellers and creative visionaries that they are; harnessing the power of documentary film to effect change; showcasing the bounty of the community; sparking dialogue, questioning and awareness.

Join the party – tickets are on sale now at the CIFF box office – discounted until August 25th – a VIP pass gets you into anything and everything during the festival and there are a limited number of Points North passes available if you’re a filmmaker, in the industry or just curious to learn more about the business of independent documentary film.

See you there.
