Maine Street USA Film Screening

Free and open to the public!

Thursday September 23rd, 7PM

Top of Biddeford’s new parking garage at 15 Pearl Street

We are excited to host this traveling showcase of documentaries produced by Maine filmmakers between January and May 2021. Born out of a desire to foster community and creative collaboration, Maine Street USA put out a call this past winter for local documentaries and was met with enthusiasm and energy from storytellers across the state. The showcase will tour across Maine in summer 2021 and feature films from local filmmakers that “document the myriad ways life is lived” in the Pinetree state. 

Premiering this year at the Camden Film Festival, Engine is thrilled to bring arts outdoors with a screening on the top of the new Biddeford parking garage on Thursday, September 23. To make this possible, we are partnering with Maine Street USA, Maine Outdoor Film Festival, and Heart of Biddeford. We are grateful we have access to this space for this free open to the public event and for recognizing how the arts can bring us together! 

Screening starts at 7PM, arrive to set up your drive-in and get comfy!

Engine is and has been a focal point of downtown Biddeford for many years for so many artists and creative spirits. It is a go-to for me: a retreat, a destination, a source for connection and ideas and community.

Engine is a wonderful place to work surrounded by wonderful people who have infused so much love and light into the downtown of Biddeford. I cannot imagine a bright future in the town without this wonderful organization.
