The Sanford International Film Festival is an annual event held in Sanford, Maine that specializes in independent film.

History

Started in 2014 by James Harmon II[1], the first festival was quickly put together to showcase films that were originally scheduled to play the canceled Lewiston Auburn Film Festival.[2][3]. After the first festival's success and support from the city[4], plans were made to continue the festival as an annual event.[5] The festival originally took place in May, but has moved to October in subsequent years.[6]

In 2019, for their sixth year, Brian Boisvert is serving as the festival director.[7]

The festival screenings are typically broken into recurrent categories, including: Horror Friday, Documentary Night, Mixed Genre Day[8], and SIFF After Hours.[9]. The popular Horror Friday section has included popular films with actors in attendance, including: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with Gunnar Hansen[10] and Nightbreed with Anne Bobby.[11]. The horror series has also included independent films, such as: Blood of the Tribades, Peelers, and In the Dark.[12]

The Tommy Award
