Maine Jewish Film Festival (MJFF) Job Opportunity

Executive Director, Maine Jewish Film Festival

Founded in 1998, the Maine Jewish Film Festival is a nonprofit 501c3 organization located in Portland, Maine.  Our mission is to enrich, educate and entertain a diverse audience by presenting cultural programs based on the global Jewish experience. We seek a confident, collaborative and visionary leader who is passionate about our mission and can build on our success over the past 20+ years. A Full-Time position, the Executive Director (ED) is responsible for the overall financial and operational health of the organization, and ensures the Film Festival activities and year-round programs are aligned with our mission by working collaboratively with the Board and Staff.

"We have been fortunate to have made two movies in Maine — The Way We Get By and Beneath The Harvest Sky.” Maine is a very special state in that there are so many options for locations. Given its size, you can travel to northern Maine, southern Maine, all along the coast, and tell a number of different stories in totally unique worlds with each film having very distinctive looks. The abundance of locations combined with the incredible generosity of the people and communities, make filmmaking in Maine a pure joy. We would not be filmmakers today without the support from the people of Maine and we will be forever grateful."

- Gita Pullapilly and Aron Gaudet, The Way We Get By and Beneath the Harvest Sky

"Filming in Maine was a dream, simply because of the people. We came to Maine and found enthusiasm and friendliness. People wanted to help out any way they could and were excited to be a part of something. That sort of thing doesn’t happen in Los Angeles or New York or even Georgia. It’s really beautiful for people to come together to support a large artistic project like this."

- James Khanlarian, Director, The Ghost Trap
