Chris Jennings, EOFF direc-
tor, said the festival is showing
more fi lms than ever this year
and received its largest intake of
(503) 317-3145
submissions. Visiting fi lmmakers
contributed 40 short fi lm selec-
tions and 13 feature fi lm selec-
tions to this year’s exhibition.
Jennings is already expecting
at least 30 visiting fi lmmakers to
present their fi lms in person in
La Grande.
The fi lm festival will be held
at the Liberty Theatre, McKenzie
Theatre and Schwarz Theatre at
Eastern Oregon University, the
Lodge at Hot Lake Springs, and
HQ on Depot Street. The venues
have varying capacity limits.
Jennings said the festival will
take it one step at a time and
determine in-person availability in
October depending on the public
health situation. Once the total
number of member passes and
visiting fi lmmakers can be deter-
mined, in-person tickets for non-
members may come available.
“We will have an in-person
festival,” Jennings said. “It will be
an artists’ festival and a mem-
bers’ festival, but there will be
public opportunities depending
on capacities.”
