Mt. Hood Independent Film Festival
The Mt. Hood Independent Film Festival is an annual film festival based in Hood River, Oregon, United States.[1] The festival seeks to bring films of multiple genres, including narrative, animation, documentary, and sports documentary to the community of Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge area. The festival also seeks to provide a venue to screen films from around the world which otherwise would not be seen in this area. The festival dedicates a portion of programming specifically to independent films made in the Pacific Northwest in an effort support local filmmakers. The festival also dedicates a portion of the program to films made by high-school-age filmmakers with a special emphasis on local films made by high school students. It is the largest Oregon-based arts and culture organization in the mid-Columbia region both in terms of programming and facility.[2]
