The third Maine Silent Film Festival will occur on Wednesday, July 23rd, and Thursday, July 24th, 2025, at the Alamo Theatre in Bucksport, Maine. The lineup is still being considered but the themes of the two days may be:
No, not the undead creature, but a femme fatale—a man-eater. The feature-length drama of the evening may be the vamp film that propelled Theda Bara into stardom: A Fool There Was. Comedy vamp shorts may include The Campus Vamp, The Danger Girl, or Loose Change.
No, not the vampiric creatures, but films in which characters fake their own deaths only to come back to life at the most opportune (or perhaps the most inopportune) moment. The feature drama may be our brand-new restoration of Playing Dead with Sidney Drew. The comedy shorts may include A Regiment of Two, The Egyptian Mummy, or A Severe Test.
