CIFF SUMMER PARTY 2024

Join us on Thursday, July 11th at 7:00 pm,  for our annual CIFF Summer Party at the Strand Theatre in Rockland with a special pre-release screening of the acclaimed documentary, Mountain Queen. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Lhakpa Sherpa — who has summited Mount Everest ten times, the most of any woman in the world — moderated by Sean Flynn, Points North’s Program Director and Co-Founder. Individual tickets are just $30 and include a free drink!

The CIFF Summer Party is Points North’s only annual fundraiser, and an opportunity to help support the Camden International Film Festival, celebrating its 20th anniversary this fall. In addition to the screening, the evening will include a sneak peek of the 2024 film program, including a selection of trailers, live music, and more. Donors and Sponsors at the $500 level and above get tickets and an invitation to a private cocktail reception. Click here to learn more about donating.
