HISTORY:

In 2004 Wallace Idaho hosted the first Idaho Panhandle Film Festival featuring films from local highschools and residents. It was a 501c3 and locals were helped with their films by Dream Gulch Productions, a local documentary filmmaking company. At that time the venues were the Sixth Street Melodrama and the Jameson Hotel. For three successful years the it thrived as an annual event and gained a large local audience. The original organizer left to seek other options in Los Angeles and the festival did not survive, 2006 was the last year.

PRESENT:

Now many years later, with the help of Film Freeway and the encouragement of the Sandpoint Film Festival, the Idaho Panhandle Film Fesitval will continue.
