Maine  Microcinema is a cinema/screening series dedicated to promoting local and regional video and filmmaking in the Pine Tree State.   Maine Micro Cinema (MMC) continues to be a popular Thursday night attraction for downtown Lewiston, where independent and Maine-based artists share their work in the warm and intimate venue known as She Doesn’t Like Guthries. As images dance on the swaying home-built projection screen, audience members are invited to laugh, cry, and probe each night’s guest director with questions and reactions to the work.  MMc is produced by Craig Saddlemire and Colin Kelley.

Synopsis:

An extended refugee family from Somalia, an interracial same-sex couple, a single mother in a housing cooperative, and a mother of six who has fostered nearly 50 children in her lifetime… None of these families have ever met each other before, but at the invitation of a mutual friend and videomaker, that will soon change. Through food, finances, and sibling disputes, Household presents an ever-shifting perspective on the enduring bonds of kinship.
