The DRIVE-IN Film Festival, a not-for-profit film festival in its seventh year, is launching its annual festival. Unlike many film festivals that celebrate films in one city or location, the DRIVE-IN Film Festival brings fresh, independent films to drive-ins across America.

On October 11th, the festival will be launching its seventh season at the Saco Drive-in. Their goal is to celebrate and promote film selections and bring awareness about drive-in movie theaters. The event will include film screenings, trivia, raffle prizes, free games and giveaways.

With the rise of social media, drive-ins across the country have been able to network online with fans, post news about upcoming films and ticket deals. They have also been able to call for help -- with the need to keep up with technology and convert to digital projectors, a switch that could cost up to six figures, drive-ins have shared fundraising campaigns with their fans. This has been the inspiration for their current theme, “DRIVE-INS GO DIGITAL!”
