Eastern Oregon Film Festival Announces New Dates

 

[LA GRANDE, OR] Putting our feet up after a successful 3rd annual event last October felt really nice.  But we’re diving back into it, readying ourselves for another amazing year.

We have decided to move the film festival to a date that can be more accessible to our regional friends and introduce visitors to Eastern Oregon’s awesome winter destination.

 

Drum roll please….

The 4th Annual EOFF will take place
February 28th through March 2nd of 2013.

It’s going to be the best EOFF yet.  Mark your calendars!

Screening & Tour at the Historic Liberty Theatre April 25th

EOFF will be hosting a night of film at the new “Stage Door Theatre” housed in the back of the historic Liberty Theatre in La Grande. The 50 seat venue is a new and welcomed intimate space for arts and cultural use.

Come join us Wednesday April 25th from 6pm – 9pm for a chance to see the Liberty Theatre, hear about last year’s event successes, screen some great home brewed films, and help support The Eastern Oregon Film Festival in its fourth installment.  

SHOWING:

The Best of the 37th Northwest Film & Video Festival touring program presents a carefully selected cross-section of the state of filmmaking in the Northwest. The Northwest Film Center presents this showcase in an effort to bring the filmmakers wider exposure and to offer this independent regional work to venues large and small.
