This series will highlight an incredibly diverse range of films made in and about Oregon by filmmakers with significant ties to the state. Each film will have student and faculty introductions and discussions, some screenings will have guest speakers, some will be held at historic institutions in Eugene, and the series will culminate in Cinema Studies’ popular annual Strauss Visiting Filmmaker event. The film series will use Oregon’s rich film history to build community around the regional diversity of the people and places in this part of the PNW.
