Abstract

"Dinner + Movie" piece on the 8th Annual Maine International Film Festival (MIFF), with a focus on the festival's impact on the host town of Waterville. Ken Eisen, co-creator of the festival, shuns rumors that Waterville will lose its close-knit feel as a result of the festival's success. New restaurants and a downtown-riverside revitalization project are results of MIFF's influence. Shannon Haines, event director, said the festival hosts all reception dinners at local restaurants and has refused to raise ticket prices in order to keep it accessible to all.
