Official Film Selections EOFF2019
Eastern Oregon Film Festival is delighted to announce the official film selections for the TENTH annual three-day event held October 24-26 in La Grande, Oregon.
EOFF’s programming staff received a record number of submitted films this year spanning a wide variety of themes, genres and formats. Festival-goers will be taken on a journey through works like Milena Pastreich’s PIGEON KINGS, which documents the men in South Central LA who train pigeons for the competitive sport of avian acrobatics, and into Taryn Southern and Elena Gaby’s sci-fi documentary exploring the co-evolution of humans and technology in I AM HUMAN, and back again with Adam Khalil and Bayley Sweitzer’s haunting and inspiringly imaginative EMPTY METAL.
