Sanford International Film Festival

May 25 – May 29 all-day

A Chance to Help Roll Out the Red Carpet

We’ve often said in this corner of the Opinion page that the City of Sanford is currently undergoing a series of small and large-scale structural, institutional and cultural changes, all of which have tremendous potential to transform the community in positive ways. In terms of cultural growth, the annual Sanford International Film Festival (SIFF) has made significant strides in two short years to help put Sanford on the map.

SIFF will return for the third time in May. The event is being billed as “SIFF3,” playfully in step with the film industry’s tendency to crank out sequels. As with previous years, local educator James Harmon is the festival’s director.
