About the Festival

The festival organizers have selected the theme of “community” for this year’s festival. We wish to celebrate the power of storytelling and togetherness at the Mountain Maryland Film Festival, where local voices and global narratives come together on the big screen. Join us for a program of inclusive and inspiring films, meaningful conversations, and shared experiences that highlight the strength and spirit of community.

A complete schedule, ticket details and program announcements are coming soon!

We are proud to partner with Allegany College of Maryland and the Embassy Theatre to host this exciting weekend of films and fun!
