CIFF 2025 Program

Welcome to the 2025 Camden International Film Festival!

This year’s edition includes 26 features and 28 short films from 32 countries. 65% of the features in the program are either U.S., North American or World Premieres, including several new works coming straight to Maine following recent premieres at the Venice and Toronto film festivals, along with award-winners and standout films from Sundance, CPH:DOX, Visions du Réel, Berlinale and others.

For the first time, CIFF runs a full four days and five nights, with screenings at the Camden Opera House and The Strand Theatre in Rockland, and special events at Journey’s End, the Rockport Opera House, and Camden Hills Regional High School.
