*Please note: Until COVID restrictions are lifted, our Oregon based film festivals will screen at the Sunshine Mill Winery and Drive-Up Theater The Dalles.* Portland, Oregon is known for being a laid back, fun town, with lots to do. Whether it’s the nature experience, the arts or the wonderful food options, if you haven’t visited at least once, perhaps it’s time you came out here! The Oregon Short Film Festival is now a bi-annual event on the Film Festival Circuit for filmmakers and screenwriters of all genres to showcase their creative works in Portland. This event was founded by author and retired filmmaker Mikel Fair who worked on location in the Film and Television industry from 1999-2015. We have chosen the 5th Avenue Cinema on the campus of Portland State University to screen several programs of international independent short films in a "back to back" format in HD 1080p. All types of films and screenplays are accepted, from Drama to Dark Comedy, Documentary to Science Fiction, Romantic Comedy to Horror Films and much more. The judges are looking for films that have engaging content, good acting, creativity, strong production value and great stories to entertain the Portland audience in a fun, fast paced program at a great venue. We now host two different networking parties where you can meet directors, screenwriter, cast, crew and film industry professionals and discuss your future projects. Come enjoy a great slate of films and network with us in Portland.
