The MIFFONEDGE exhibition is held in conjunction with the Maine International Film Festival at 1 Post Office Square. MIFFONEDGE “explores the intersection of film and art and pushes the boundaries of commonly accepted notions of cinema,” according to the description the exhibition’s page.

At this year’s MIFFONEDGE exhibition, many filmmakers incorporated found objects into their work. Examples include family diaries, audiotapes, dishes and textiles, and images clipped from old magazines.
