The Portland International Film Festival is the major film event in Oregon, and one of the most culturally diverse and best-attended arts events in the region. The 14-day festival presents more than 125 feature films and shorts from more than 40 countries at downtown venues including the Portland Center for the Performing Arts, the Regal Broadway Cinemas, Cinemagic, Cinema 21, the Hollywood Theatre, and the Portland Art Museum’s Whitsell Auditorium. As the major winter arts event in Portland, the Festival garners substantial media attention and is one of the most visible events of the year.
