Maine Outdoor Film Festival Selects Tour
Friday, Sept. 13, 7 p.m.
Presented by the Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust, The Maine Outdoor Film Festival returns to The Waldo. Join us for this two-hour screening of outdoor adventure and conservation films from all over the world and Maine as we connect community and the outdoors through film.
The Maine Outdoor Film Festival curates and presents film experiences related to the beauty, interactivity, and complexity of our planet, asking questions and sharing stories about how the power of our planet influences human experience and conversely, human impact on the planet.
Adult tickets are available in advance online for $10 or $15 day-of-show and at the door. Youth tickets are $5. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and day-of-show tickets are available at the box office.
Waldo After Dark presents ‘The Man from Hong Kong’
Friday, Sept. 20, 8 p.m.
The Far East picks a fight Down Under in “The Man From Hong Kong,” a cult classic, martial arts action extravaganza from legendary Ozploitation director Brian Trenchard-Smith (“Dead End Drive-In,” “Turkey Shoot,” and “BMX Bandits”). Ozploitation films are a category of low-budget horror, comedy, sexploitation, and all-out action films made in Australia in the 1970s and ‘80s during the beginnings of the Australian New Wave movement.
Determined to get his man, Fang will stop at nothing – bringing all manner of mayhem to the streets in a full-on fist fighting spectacle of explosive proportions, featuring extraordinary car chases, dangerous stunts and incredible set pieces.
This is a pay-what-you-can event; suggested minimum donation is $5. Concessions are available for purchase.

If you’re interested in being part of the shadow cast, or just part of the team that puts it all together (and helps clean up afterward), then you can get in free!
