Mountainfilm on Tour is back in the Midcoast. Over the two nights of more than 20 films will be shown Tuesday, April 12 at the Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta and Wednesday, April 13 at the Waldo Theatre in Waldoboro. The film program is a selection of culturally rich, adventure-packed and incredibly inspiring documentary films curated from the Mountainfilm Festival in Telluride, Colorado.

The films are diverse in subject matter, but all inspire. In Damariscotta, audience members will see films ranging from an exciting mountain biking short film to a comedic look at National Park Reviews to a film about squirt boating. At The Waldo, viewers can see a variety of incredible shorts including “The Captain,” which profiles Rockport local Sadie Samuels, the youngest and only female lobster boat captain in the Rockport. Both film programs have something for everyone.

Presented by Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust and Rising Tide Co-op, the two events are independent yet complimentary fundraising events. Mountainfilm on Tour in Damariscotta is being hosted by Friends of GSB, LLC and will serve as a fundraiser for the outdoor education related efforts at Great Salt Bay Community School. Mountainfilm on Tour in Waldoboro is being hosted by The Waldo and serves as a fundraiser for the theatre to assist with future programming needs at the Waldo. This will be the third year for Mountainfilm on Tour in Damariscotta and the debut year for Mountainfilm on Tour in Waldoboro.

The show kicks off at 6:30 p.m. at both theaters. Tickets are available at both location websites and at the door the day of the shows: https://lincolntheater.net and https://waldotheatre.org. Tickets are $15 adult and $5 child/student. Beverages from Oxbow Brewery and Tin Top Cider will be available for sale. See the complete playlist at www.mountainfilm.org/tour/schedule.
