The short film selections will have something for everyone and the festival team is working to place selections into blocks that allow for filmmakers to respond to their work with an in-person or virtual audience.

Special musical guests for this year’s event will be Boise, Idaho’s Blood Lemon, and Floating Witch’s Head.

The Regional production team and key EOFF Filmmaker’s Fund recipient Out of Character will present an update on their epic battle to make this film over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.
