Ashland Independent Film Festival's 2023 Documentary Showcase
This April 14 – 20, the Ashland Independent Film Festival returns to Ashland’s Varsity Theater with a Documentary Showcase that will remind viewers why thought-provoking films watched in the company of others matter. Comprising the program are six new documentary features hot off the festival circuit supplemented by five short films by local filmmakers. The opening night film is the 2023 Sundance U.S. Documentary Grand Jury Prize winner, and following the screening, the two award-winning directors will receive the AIFF Rogue Award and participate in a Q&A moderated by author and screenwriter, Leigh Davenport. The closing night film brings Portland-based filmmaker Reed Harkness to Ashland for a Talkback with the audience moderated by Richard Herskowitz, retired AIFF Artistic Director. In addition, six other films will be streaming on the KINO NOW channel from April 14-28.
