Hate To Be a Tease…

Did you watch it?! I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling a bit nostalgic and also so excited for this year’s festival!

This is going to be the 23rd occurrence of the Bend Film Festival. With a passionate new leadership team, inspired energy, and a strong vision for this year to set us up for the future, it’s going to be a good one!

The festival runs October 7-11, and it’s going to be here before you know it.

So get your passes now and get them early to ensure availability as well as to show your support (love?) for BendFilm!

And if you’re looking for Festival early access, discounts, private screenings, and other great year-round perks, consider becoming one of those very special people with a BendFilm membership.

Last Chance:
2026 Summer Filmmaking Camp

Got a budding Scorsese, Gerwig, or Maya Deren on your hands?

We still have a few spots left for the second session our Summer Filmmaking Camp, July 20-24.

Campers will learn to write, shoot, and edit short films from their own imaginations, with a final private screening at the new Central Library. Join us and learn how to be a filmmaker!
