Baltimore, MD — The Producers Club of Maryland has announced that the 26th edition of the Maryland Film Festival (MdFF) will be held from November 5–9, 2025, in Baltimore. Submissions for the festival are now open.
The festival, which used to take place in May in previous years, will shift to November starting in 2025. This change aims to strengthen the connection with students, educational institutions, and filmmakers from Baltimore, Maryland, and beyond.
In an effort to broaden its scope, MdFF is introducing a Student Film category for the first time. This addition will engage Baltimore’s vibrant educational community, including institutions such as MICA, Peabody Institute, and the Baltimore School for the Arts.
The SNF Parkway Theatre will continue to serve as the festival’s home base, hosting screenings, panels, and events that spotlight both local and international talent.
