The Ashland Independent Film Festival is Returning Back to Spring!
You have spoken and AIFF listened:
AIFF is bringing the festival back to the spring! We’re thrilled to return to what we love doing—offering a vibrant, community-focused experience with thought-provoking films, engaging events and connections with artists and filmmakers.
Please support the effort by making a tax-deductible donation today.
Here’s what is planned:
2025 Festival. Spring festival with curated feature films, visiting filmmakers, talkbacks and events.
Monthly screening series. New monthly screening series featuring independent films including those locally made, themed and directed.
Community Conversations. Every month, following a film screening, a moderated discussion.
2026 Festival. Return to a full festival like the ones we all remember!
Five Year Plan. Developing a roadmap for AIFF’s future, ensuring we remain a vital part of Southern Oregon’s arts community.
To make this vision a reality, we need YOUR HELP! Like most nonprofits, we are reliant on supporters, funders and volunteers because, unfortunately, ticket sales and memberships don’t cover the full cost of putting on a Festival. The minimum budget is $196,000. Thanks to generous donors and funders like you, we’ve raised $58,404 so far.
We believe in you, in this community and in the collective good. Thank you for helping bring 20+ years of diverse voices, art and independent film alive in Southern Oregon. Thank you.
If you are willing and able, we hope you will consider making a tax-deductible donation to AIFF as part of your End of Year Giving.
Might you be willing to consider a gift or a pledge to help bring AIFF back to the spring? Every dollar helps!
Please help us get to the finish line before the end of January 2025.
You can donate here or by sending a check to P. O. Box 218, Ashland OR 97520.
To those of you who have already given, thank you!
For those donors giving $1000 or more, you will be invited to a Thank You Reception at the AIFF Film Center on January 9 and gifted a case of select AIFF wines and 4 wine glasses.
A gift to the Southern Oregon Film Society dba the Ashland Independent Film Festival (FEIN: 93-1281951) provides eligibility for Oregon's Cultural Tax Credit. Donors who contribute to Oregon cultural nonprofits, including ours, are eligible to make a matching donation to the Oregon Cultural Trust and receive a 100% tax credit for their Trust donation (up to $500 for an individual, $1,000 for a couple filing jointly and $2,500 for a Class-C Corporation).
The Ashland Independent Film Festival Thanks the Oregon Cultural Trust for their support.
