Overview

Pride Aroostook Film Festival is a small regional LGBTQ+-focused event in northern Maine associated with Pride Aroostook, a community organization built around visibility, inclusion, and connection for rural queer residents and allies. It is notable as part of a broader Pride Aroostook programming slate and, according to local reporting, has been planned to screen shorts and documentary films in a community setting rather than as a major commercial festival.
