Summary
The Maryland Film Festival has been celebrating filmmaking since 1999. Every spring, venues in downtown Baltimore -- including the Charles Theatre and nearby universities -- screen up to 100 full-length features, shorts and documentaries over four days.

Local filmmakers participate in the festivities, and several local films that have screened at the festival have gotten wider exposure. The festival committee invites guests such as John Waters and Henry Rollins to host screenings of films that are important to them. Another program is Advocating for Movies, which allows critics to advocate for movies they...
The Maryland Film Festival has been celebrating filmmaking since 1999. Every spring, venues in downtown Baltimore -- including the Charles Theatre and nearby universities -- screen up to 100 full-length features, shorts and documentaries over four days. It is more intimate and relaxed than other major film festivals, as it lacks a formalized competition. Local filmmakers participate in the festivities, and several local films that have screened at the festival have gotten wider exposure. The festival committee invites guests such as John Waters and Henry Rollins to host screenings of films that are important to them. Another program is Advocating for Movies, which allows critics to advocate for movies they believed were missed in the marketplace. A recent addition to the festival is the Tent Village, which is home to free workshops, panel discussions and Q&A sessions. In addition to the annual event, the Maryland Film Festival holds screenings and other activities throughout the year.
