Gathering filmmakers, film lovers, and culture seekers of Hillsboro to celebrate the art of storytelling on the screen.
Nestled west of Portland, OR, Hillsboro has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, evolving into an enchanting town that seamlessly blends its historic charm with modern progress. The influx of industry giants like Genentech, Intel, and Nike has contributed to its growth, while the historic downtown area undergoes a vibrant renaissance, rendering today’s Hillsboro unrecognizable to those who knew it only a bit ago.
Amidst the thriving film community in the city, Hillsboro and its neighboring communities yearn for culturally enriching experiences in their own backyard. The Hillsboro Film Festival emerges as a solution to this desire, poised to not only satiate the local appetite for thought-provoking cinema but also act as a magnet, drawing artists and film enthusiasts from across the globe to immerse themselves in our community’s unique essence. As attendees explore, we hope they’ll discover the myriad eateries, wine bars, tea shops, and doggie bakeries that the Creative Arts District in Historic Downtown Hillsboro proudly showcases.
After selling out our first night before even announcing winners last year we had to add a second night which sold out in days! Our festival is filling a clear need for more film activity in Washington County and we cannot wait to offer a FULL WEEKEND of events in 2025.
