Silver Falls
Film Festival
Get ready, film lovers — the 3rd Annual Silver Falls Film Festival is coming this August! Hosted by the Silverton Arts Association, this celebration of film and storytelling will shine bright in the heart of Oregon’s beautiful Willamette Valley.
Join us at the historic Palace Theatre, Silverton’s movie house, for an evening of captivating short films from creative voices near and far. From films created locally (including 4 films from this year’s Cinema Camp) to international treasures, every story will light up the screen and spark conversation.
Date: August 28, 2025 7:00PM
Location: The Palace Theatre, Silverton, OR
Admission: $5
Mark your calendar, bring your friends, and be part of the magic — because in Silverton, the arts aren’t just celebrated, they’re lived.
