About Us

The Southern Oregon Film Society is dedicated to presenting quality independent film through the ashland independent film festival and to providing cultural and educational events in the region year round.

The ashland independent film festival actively promotes dialogue between the filmmaker and the audience in the intimate setting of the Varsity Theatre. We believe this dynamic interaction is an essential part of the independent filmmaking process. For five days each spring we create a film community that continues to thrive and grow during the year through ongoing educational and film events.
