If fine dining makes your day you have classic film locations from which to choose. Consider doing lunch in the cafeteria where the famous "Animal House" food fight took place. Or, dine at the restaurant where Jack Nicholson's character in "Five Easy Pieces" tried to order toast, an item not on the menu. He ended up ordering a chicken salad sandwich, asking the waitress to hold the chicken between her knees.
If fitness is your second passion after filmmaking, go for a run on the trails and track where Steve Prefontaine trained and set world records. "Without Limits" the story of Steve Prefontaine was filmed in Eugene.
There will be special showcases, award winning independent films, celebrations of excellence, workshops, and social rights of passage. Agents, film reviewers, screenwriters, actors, and producers will be part of the festival milieu. Join with film buffs from wherever they may come for the opening gala, three days of showings and the closing awards celebration. Order your tickets now.
