The 2027 Maryland Film Festival brings together three announced strands—features, short films and CineTech—at the SNF Parkway Theatre, a former movie house that has anchored the festival year-round since 2017. The overall counts give a sense of the festival’s scope; choosing what to see on a particular day will depend on the individual program.
The announced lineup comprises 30 features, 111 short films and 10 CineTech experiences, alongside after-parties. Those totals describe the overall festival, not how the offerings are distributed across the five dates. The listing does not yet identify films, party details or session times.
A useful way to approach the eventual schedule is to choose a screening that matters most to you first, then see what else fits around it. If shorts or CineTech are your main interest, compare their individual descriptions and times rather than treating the overall counts as a day-by-day plan. That is an editorial way to use the forthcoming schedule, not an announced festival itinerary.
CineTech is named as its own part of the 2027 slate, but its experiences have not been described. The available listing does not specify their format, location or any separate participation or ticket requirements.

MdFF’s filmmaker information describes lounges, industry conversations, Pitch Fest, audience Q&As and hospitality support as parts of the festival’s filmmaker experience. It does not identify 2027 guests or confirm which of those activities will be open to ticket-holders. Treat them as context for the festival’s filmmaker-facing work, not as scheduled public events.

The SNF Parkway began as a movie house in 1915 and reopened in 2017 as the Maryland Film Festival’s permanent home. Its regular programming includes first-run films, independent and art-house cinema, and classics. That year-round role gives MdFF a working cinema as its base rather than a temporary festival-only venue.
The theatre is in Station North, designated Baltimore’s first official Arts & Entertainment District in 2002. Nearby options named by Visit Baltimore include Sophomore Coffee and Mobtown Ballroom and Cafe; galleries such as Gallery CA, New Door Creative, ICA Baltimore, Waller Gallery and Motor House; and Graffiti Alley, a public-art site behind Motor House. No Land Beyond, Mobtown Ballroom and Ottobar are among the district’s nightlife venues. These are neighborhood possibilities, not festival activities; check their own hours and calendars before building one into your plans.

The Parkway says automatic doors open into its Historic Lobby, restrooms are accessible, and the building’s main public areas have step-free access. All three theaters have wheelchair-accessible and companion seating. Theater 1 has a raked main floor with accessible seating in multiple locations; Theaters 2 and 3 are reached by elevator and also provide wheelchair-accessible and companion seating.
For guests who need a shorter approach, the venue recommends drop-off between the McDonald’s next door and the main entrance. A curb ramp there provides the shortest route to the doors. Assisted Listening Devices are available on request, but the venue says availability is limited.
Theatre listings identify open-captioned screenings with the label [Open Captions]. Foreign-language films include onscreen subtitles for non-English dialogue.
