The 22nd Annual Camden International Film Festival (CIFF) will kick off with a special free community screening! Join us on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, 6:00pm, at Camden Hills Regional High School’s Strom Auditorium for a screening of Carl Sagan: We Are Made of Star Stuff with filmmaker Nanette Burstein in attendance.

An intimate portrait of visionary astronomer, author and television star Carl Sagan, whose groundbreaking ideas transformed our understanding of the cosmos and human existence.

The evening will feature a Q&A with special guests, and a chance to gather with friends and neighbors before CIFF officially begins.

This event is free and open to the public, and we welcome teenagers and adults alike. Register today to save a spot for you, your friends, and family! Doors open at 5:30PM.

Carl Sagan: We Are Made of Star Stuff is presented as part of Points North’s ongoing effort to build community through the power of nonfiction storytelling — not just within the international film world, but here at home in the Midcoast.

This free Community Screening is presented by Cold Mountain Builders. Thank you as well to First National Bank and Maine Math and Science Alliance for additional support.
