We bring films, filmmakers and audiences together in an atmosphere that's both comfortable and totally fun. Groundbreaking films. Independent films. Classic films. Big studio prerelease films. You'll experience them all year long and see something that's truly different. Friends of the Festival screenings present the art of film making the way it's meant to be - entertaining and enlightening.

HELP - Keep filmmaking alive in Maryland
Last year, all film, television and commercial production combined pumped $5 million into Maryland's economy. When you become a Friend of the Festival, you'll be supporting the annual Maryland Film Festival held in May. Since 1999, it's been the best showcase for filmmakers to see how great Maryland is for productions of all kinds.
