TRAVEL & ACCOMODATION

Travel

The Camden International Film Festival is located in Camden, Rockport and Rockland, Maine, 3 of the prettiest coastal towns in all of New England. The age old Maine saying, "you can't get there from here" need not apply to CIFF. There are an array of options that will make your trip up the coast enjoyable and part of this unique experience!

If you are traveling from the south, CIFF is reachable by plane, train or automobile.

By Automobile:
From points south, follow I-95 through New Hampshire and into Maine. Get off at 295 N - Portland. Follow that until exit 28: Coastal Route 1N, Bath / Brunswick. Following Route 1 will take you directly through downtown Rockland, home of CIFF venues The Strand and Farnsworth Art Musuem. Stay in Rockland, or continue 7 miles on Route 1 until you enter Camden.

By Plane:
Daily flights from Boston to Rockland through Cape Air are easy, quite affordable and offer one of the most spectacular views of the Maine coast. For more information, visit www.flycapeair.com. Make sure to rent a car from Budget upon arrival (207-594-0822).
