Welcome to Inthrive Film Festival: Maine

In partnershp with the Maine State Prision we're excited to present a unique inside-outside two day event at three venues throughout the Midcoast!

Come and be challenged, inspired, and motivated to take action!

Join us on the midcoast!

2 Days. 3 Unique experiences.

Friday, May 1, begins with a special program inside the Maine State Prison that will bring together residents of multiple prisons as well as community members to experience the powerful stories of incarceration survivors through film while also seeing the talents of the men at the Maine State Prison.


That evening the films and celebration continue at the Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta as we screen a selection of short films and have a panel discussion with local incarceration survivors.

Saturday we continue our film festival at the Waldo Theater with an afternoon of films that will challenge and inspire you. We wrap our festival with a closing celebration at the Waldoboro Inn.

 

Come be a part of the community of incarceration survivors, advocates, allies, and friends who are working to remove barriers to successful reentry!
