Eugene is known for many unique characteristics and contributions – the lush, green beauty of the Willamette Valley; the pedigree of University of Oregon track; Ken Kesey and his dirty hippie brethren; and recreational drugs.
Film, however, is not one of them.

That’s all changing now, as the Eugene International Film Festival begins its third and most prominent year yet of pairing the brightest of up-and-coming filmmakers with high-profile distributors and a region of informed and eager movie-lovers ready to experience the new school of cinema. Because if Park City
Sundance, Tribeca … Eugene?
