Hi everyone, hope you’ll submit for 2012.  Please spread the word!!  Thank you

We had a record breaking 2011 and are super-psyched for this coming year!!  

Now in its 9th year, BENDFILM FESTIVAL celebrates independent cinema's brave voices by bringing thought-provoking, inspiring, and engaging films from all over the world to Central Oregon's scenic mountainous town of Bend. Unmistakably filmmaker-friendly, BendFilm has been deemed one of "25 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee" by MovieMaker Magazine, and declared "an important creation for filmmakers" by Gus Van Sant.  BendFilm has garnered acclaim from industry, media, audiences, and filmmakers alike. We offers CASH prizes in several award categories

Our 2011 jurors:

· Sharon Badal, Tribecca Film Festival

We strives to assure every exhibiting filmmaker has a world-class festival experience. For those filmmakers screening & attending the festival we try and arrange host housing  & transportation while in town.  As well as a pass to all films and parties, including Opening and Closing Night, an invitation to the private filmmaker reception and much more.
