Every year, in mid-September, MOFF makes its way to Bethel to bring outdoor films to the Maine people, where they are. We feel super privileged to be one of the stops on The MOFF tour of Maine. Please join us for this special event! Make sure to bring a lawn chair and blanket to enjoy this outdoor event!
