The Eugene International Film Festival is a boutique festival and market. Official EIFF selections include films that have secured distribution deals at the festival. Others have later been nominated for Academy Awards. The EIFF is competitive, yet friendly; not large, but close knit. As a festival we are honored by the excellence of the films being submitted and the exuberance of the filmmakers attending. Our awards ceremony showcases the winning films, along with heirloom-quality trophies for the winners. Please accept our invitation to submit your best film and attend the festival. The Eugene International Film Festival is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit.
