#EOFF2025 Official Selections Announcement
Eastern Oregon Film Festival is thrilled to welcome this year’s Official Selections to La Grande, Oregon, October 16–18, for our sixteenth annual celebration of independent cinema, live music, and community connection.
We received a record-breaking number of submissions from 19 countries, challenging our programming team to reach new heights. This year’s lineup will take you eye-to-eye with burrowing owls, send you trekking across the Sahara, immerse you in mesmerizing animation, tickle your funny bone, twist your expectations with genre-bending WTFs, and leave you awestruck by the raw talent joining us in person to share their work.
Below you’ll find the Official #EOFF2025 Selections. The full Film Guide will be released August 17. Schedule and standalone tickets early September. Passes are on sale now, with tiered price increases as we get closer to the festival — the first bump is tomorrow — so now’s the time to secure yours!
With immense gratitude… here’s this year’s list.
