POW Film Fest Presents – POW TV

Today POW Film Fest is launching POW TV, a virtual viewing station for discovering stories told by women and non-binary filmmakers.

The past few months have provided many of us with the opportunity to watch a lot more films and tv series. Most often we turn to the big streaming platforms for this entertainment, but more and more of those big platforms are becoming saturated with the “bad tv” that was once the fluff of networks and cable tv. POW feels compelled to provide an alternative to the played out motto: Netflix and Chill, by offering great films that have finished their festival run, but that not all of us have had opportunities to see or learn about.

Athena Joins The Oregon Film Trail

A brand new Oregon Film Trail sign has been installed and was unveiled today in Athena, honoring the town’s starring role as a location in the silent film, City Girl. It sits outside the Gem Theatre, Athena. The Gem Theatre hosted the dedication of the newest sign on the Oregon Film Trail, in celebration of the local filming of this F.W.
