There are a few exciting new additions to the 2009 festival lineup. The festival is sponsoring two unique film productions that promote local filmmakers in order to better showcase their work.
The first production; "4 Short Films About Bangor, Maine" is a compilation of shorts created by four different filmmakers, each being challenged to create their own unique story and vision of the city of Bangor. The final films will be joined together and screened as part of this years lineup.
Additionally, the BFF is sponsoring a new filmmaker interview series called "Lunch Box Cinema". Each featured artist is invited to eat lunch with the series moderator. The lunch is an informal discussion about great films, the filmmakers body of work and filmmaking in general. During the course of this discussion, each filmmaker is commissioned to make a 3-5 minute short film of their design, for the same cost as the lunch. The final films and interviews will be screened throughout the course of the festival.
The complete festival schedule will be released in late June.
