Backcountry Film Festival


Join “Discover Your Forest” In Bend, Sunriver, and Sisters for the 2023 Back Country Film Festival. We will have films, drinks, prizes, and fun! 

On Thursday, March 9th, 2023 come to Volcanic  Theater Pub in Bend at 6:00 pm the doors open, films start at 7:00 pm, intermission is at 8:15 pm with the films ending at 10:30.

On Saturday, March 11th, 2023 come to Sunriver SHARC for our Sunriver showing. Doors open at 6:00 pm, Films start at 6:30 pm and end at 9:00 pm. 

On Sunday, March 12th, 2023 come to the Sisters Movie House, the doors open at 6:15, films start at 6:45 and end at 9:00 pm. 

Attendees will be allowed into the space to claim their spots. At that time, supporters will be able to grab some beverages and food. The screening will kick off and this year’s award-winning lineup will keep attendees enthralled until the very end!

We have some awesome raffle prizes to give away during the event. Raffle tickets will be available. ALL funds from this event go directly towards helping “Discover Your Forest” maintain free, outstanding hands-on conservation education for thousands of Central Oregon’s youth, and will help us grow our reach to underserved communities by purchasing adaptive equipment and support to insure that all people, regardless of their ability or identity can experience the thrill of the outdoors. 

Although we will not be mandating mask use, we encourage folks who feel more comfortable wearing one, to please do so. There will be plenty of space to distance yourself if needed, and we are asking everyone to be mindful and respectful of others during the event. 

With a limited amount of tickets available, interested parties should grab theirs now! If space allows, we will have a very limited amount of tickets available at the door. Let’s enjoy some amazing films together, and raise money for an incredible cause!
