About Me

OR download our Entry Form here.The 7th annual ashland independent film festival is April 3-7, 2008. Every spring, filmmakers and film lovers gather in the intimate art house setting of the Varsity Theatre in downtown Ashland, Oregon to celebrate the ashland independent film festival. Documentaries, features, shorts and student films are shown on the five screens of this historic art deco building, with special events at the Ashland Armory. The festival continues to grow each year in attendance, interest in the filmmaker world and interest in the community. In 2007 we received over 900 film submissions (a new record!) from all over the world, including Ashland! The 2007 festival included 93 films shown over five days. About half of the films were represented by filmmakers, 2/3rds of the screenings were sold out,15,000 tickets were distributed and 90+% of the seats were filled. In addition to ten juried and audience awards, the AIFF holds The Launch, a free film competition for students from across Southern Oregon. One of last years winners went on to screenings at international film festivals. Winners in each of the age categories, K-5, 6-8, 9-12, and college, are featured at the festival.Our Mission: The Southern Oregon Film Society is dedicated to presenting independent film through the annual ashland independent film festival and providing cultural and educational events in the region year round.Whether you're a filmmaker or a film lover, we hope you'll join us April 3-7, 2008 for next year's exciting festival!
