‘Klamath’ shines at film festival
COOS BAY — “Klamath,” a docu-
mentary film about the Klamath-Siskiyou
wilderness, was the audience choice at the
2016 Oregon Coast Film Festival held at
the Egyptian Theatre in Coos Bay last
month.
The feature film was produced and
filmed by Aaron Moffatt.
“Klamath” was screened as part of the
day-long film festival that included 43
short films and a student film co-pro-
duced by Pacific High and Driftwood stu-
dents.
The selected films were all about
Oregon; the coast, the filmmakers, the
students and the region.
•Friday, Saturday, Nov 4,5,11,12 @ 7pm
•Sunday Matinees, Nov 6,13 @ 2pm
“It’s an honor to present these fine
artists in this venue,” said festival founder
Dave Wilhite. “Films were rolling all day
long, which was great. The day-long fes-
tival pass gave the attendees a chance to
get outside and return to the theater for
more films.”
Businesses around the theater benefit-
ted as people took breaks at local eateries.
“It really didn’t matter what time you
showed up, the projector was rolling all
day long,” said Wilhite
Festival organizers are firming up plans
for next year’s festival for a 2017 pre-
miere at the Egyptian Theatre in Fall
2017.
