“The environment is the perfect harmony of town, community, and nature as you're settled with <1000 people right in the middle of a box canyon. The screenings take place in a historic opera house where cocktails & popcorn are never short. After screenings, you can walk ten minutes in either direction to two waterfalls.” — Gregory Bordelon, filmmaker

The Wright Opera House

Most of the festival program takes place in the historic Wright Opera House. Built in 1888, much of the original structure is still in place. On the ground level is The Tavern, a beautifully restored bar serving up a variety of libations. Upstairs is the auditorium, where new technology (such as the 4k cinema projector and audio system), coupled with the original nineteenth-century wooden beams and theater curtain, creates a truly memorable viewing experience. Beyond film screenings, we host scholars, activists, and filmmakers who deliver presentations and participate in Q&As.
