The 2022 MFA Winter Film Challenge, presented by p3, is the Maine Film Association’s first-ever weekend-long filmmaking celebration, providing a platform for Maine filmmakers to challenge themselves creatively and showcase their skills and talent. Teams of filmmakers from across the state will have 72 hours to write, shoot, and edit a short film. All events associated with the competition will accommodate in-person (as COVID allows) and virtual attendees through a hybrid format. We hope this will enable interested creatives from Fort Kent to Kittery to participate and make a film in their hometowns.

The Winter Film Challenge will start on Thursday February 3, 2022 at 8pm ET and will end on Sunday February 6, 2022 at 8pm ET. The films will be shown at an Official Screener on February 12, 2022 at a local theater in Portland, ME.
