We are the longest-running Deaf Film Festival. Over the past 20 years, the Maine Deaf Film Festival (MDFF) has been a space for the Deaf community to come together and see Deaf stories, new and old, come to life on the big screen. Hosted by the University of Southern Maine in conjunction with the Department of Linguistics and ASL Club, MDFF aims to bring Deaf stories to a wider audience within the Deaf community and beyond. Learn more about the team this year below.
