About Us

The Bates Film Festival is a Maine-based gathering where students and attendees engage in civic-minded conversations and experience thought-provoking movies in community. The 2026 BFF will focus on the arts and how their representation in film brings individuals together, promotes mutual respect and understanding, and heightens civic engagement. All events are free and open to the public in order to welcome a broader audience. Our festival is unique in that it is organized and programmed by Bates College students under the direction of Professor Jon Cavallero.
