Bucksport, Maine, USA-- The International Maritime Film Festival (IMFF) is now accepting submissions for a juried contest of films celebrating the heritage, spirit of adventure, and ingenuity of boats and waterborne pursuits. It is the premier event for maritime-themed filmmaking.

The IMFF is a joint venture between Northeast Historic Film (NHF) in Bucksport, Maine, and WoodenBoatPublications, Inc. (WBPI), in Brooklin, Maine. NHF is the technical partner, and brings a constellation of film experts to the organization, while WBPI, with its rich understanding of the topic, serves as the media and content partner. NHF’s state-of-the art theatre in Bucksport, the Alamo, will host a gala awards event on the weekend of September 30-October 2, 2016. In the months after the awards event, a compilation of winners will be offered to venues worldwide.

The awards ceremony will take place in Bucksport, Maine, and Brooklin, Maine. It will be a small, exclusive event centered at the Alamo and will include two days of screenings, short presentations, and parties—one of which will take place on the seaside campus of WoodenBoatPublications in Brooklin.

IMFF accepts documentary films on a broad range of maritime subjects. These include, but are not limited to, voyaging, racing, working, leisure, boatbuilding and restoration, historical documentary, and environment and science. Judging is not category-specific; rather, all films will be evaluated in relation to each other, in one of two tracks: Feature Length (40 minutes or more), or Shorts (under 40 minutes). All films are to be in English, or to carry English subtitles.

Submissions may be made online at www.maritimefilmfestival.com. The entry fee is $45.
