AIFF is bringing the festival back to the spring! We’re thrilled to return to what we love doing—offering a vibrant, community-focused experience with thought-provoking films, engaging events and connections with artists and filmmakers.
Here’s what is planned:
2025 Festival. Spring festival with curated feature films, visiting filmmakers, talkbacks and events.
Monthly screening series. New monthly screening series featuring independent films including those locally made, themed and directed.
On Friday, May 30, 2025, PAM CUT // Center for an Untold Tomorrow will host the sixth annual Cinema Unbound Awards in Portland, Oregon. This West Coast cultural highlight celebrates visionary creators who redefine cinematic storytelling and push the boundaries of media arts.
The 2025 edition of Tag! Queer Shorts Festival hits the screen at the Hollywood Theatre on April 5-6, 2025. This year’s theme is “Create, Gather, Resist,” which is a direct call for LGBTQIA+ filmmakers and allies to respond to the dire political climate by engaging in visual storytelling that counters the dehumanizing narratives, to join together in celebration and solidarity, and to organize against the transphobia, homophobia, ableism, racism, and sexism that characterize this administration.
Join Living Room Theaters for a two-part celebration of cinema’s biggest night! Kick things off with our Film Awards Pre-Talk on Feb. 27, featuring lively discussions, industry insights, and a chance to connect with fellow film lovers.
Then, on March 2, experience the excitement of our Watch Party, complete with great food, themed cocktails, and a ballot challenge for a chance to win free movies. Book your tickets 
Making Earth Cool and NW Documentary invite you to create a short film celebrating the Earth for our upcoming curation of Earth Films for Earth Day on April 24th, 2025 at the Tomorrow Theater. Submit an Earth film between 1 – 8 minutes long and it may be chosen in the line-up. Whether it’s addressing climate change, highlighting the beauty of nature, or expressing your love for a specific plant, animal, or the miracle of Earth itself, we want to see it.
Screening on March 20, 2025 at 730p at the Hollywood Theatre.
RVing Today, a weekly show about RVs and the RV lifestyle, is celebrating its 15th year on syndicated nationwide broadcast television. The show producer, Jose Moniz, is based near Boston, Massachusetts and co-hosted by Jeff Johnston in a Eugene field office. Oregon distributor Fox KLSR has been with the show for all 15 years and we’re also on KOBI NBC5 in Medford and KOTI NBC 2 in Klamath Falls.
The locally produced feature film “Trash Baby” will make its world premiere at the SXSW film festival in Austin, TX later this year. Written and directed by Jacy Mairs ”Trash Baby” is an indie drama that celebrates the kids who grew up amidst white trash culture in the early 2000’s. Bold, cinematic, and rooted in authenticity, this film is a love letter to the beauty of one of America’s most dismissed communities, and an honest look at those society openly calls trash.
