I have been attending the Ashland Independent Film Festival for the past 5 years and have been extremely impressed with the lineup of films showcased. The panel discussions have been lively and informative and the event is well run. My interest in activism through film has increased as a result of attending these festivals.

I am a volunteer screener at the Ashland Independent Film Festival in Ashland, Oregon. Film is my passion; I teach and facilitate workshops and classes using film. To me, film - feature films as well as documentaries - are agents of change. Many, if not most, films deliver a message which we are able to take in when we watch a movie with conscious awareness. The AIFF brings this possibility to Southern Oregon, where people come from all over to attend. The quality of films and the excellence of the filmmakers who participate are top-notch. Being a screener allows me to bring my skills and talents to help make the Festival a force of change in the world.

The Southern Oregon Film Society provides an amazing opportunity for both independent film makers and the public of this little town: we get to watch movies we would otherwise not have access to, talk with their makers face-to-face, and immerse ourselves for 5 days in the thoughts and inspirations of some of the most creative members of our society, and these film makers get to share the product of their work and discuss it with us!

Ashland Independent Film Festival consistently provides intelligent, thought-provoking, community-building films in a setting that encourages discussions before and after the films.

I have been involved with the Film Society for over 10 years...volunteer bookkeeper for years...came on the board last year. I love the exposure to new ideas from the films, relish the visits with other festival goers on what we've all seen, cherish the many volunteers who make the festival the gem it is and greatly appreciate the staff who are the genesis of all these wonderful experiences. We are going through changes now...understanding that change is inevitable in the life of an organization...it's not easy, but will result in a richer experience for everyone involved in the organization.

I'm so proud to be part of this special organization. Just knowing that what we do affects so many people in positive ways makes it all worthwhile. The films themselves change lives with their content, but the sense of community that is evoked each April at the festival when over 80 films are presented in a five day span is the thing that makes the biggest difference for me. Talking to complete strangers about a film I saw yesterday while standing in line waiting to get in to see yet another, in the theater before a film begins or in a restaurant or a pub after saturating myself with independent film for an entire day, I can't help but to feel that during the five day festival that Ashland is truly the center of the universe. There are so few opportunities for us to actually connect as a community, to experience things together and be offered the opportunity to share our experience with one another. The Ashland Independent Film Festival offers all that. Volunteering my time for this organization is one of the more fulfilling things I've experienced in my life.

The Ashland Independent Film Festival is one of the cultural jewels of Southern Oregon, bringing together the best of independent film and the warmth and friendliness of a special community. The well organized mix of filmmakers, audience and volunteers makes this event a rare and wonderful experience. It is five days not to be missed.
