Established in 1992, Film Action Oregon provides nonprofit
support to Oregon’s indigenous filmmaking community and
educates Oregonians about this art form. FAO focuses on
educating emerging artists, partnering with independent
filmmakers to produce new works, and engaging diverse audiences
by exhibiting independent, classic and foreign films at the 1926
Hollywood Theatre, which was purchased by FAO in 1997. Since
2003, FAO has provided a nonprofit umbrella for select
filmmakers to assist their current projects with fundraising,
artistic critique, distribution strategies, editing, screening
venues and other forms of support. FAO also established the
Women’s Film Initiative to support and encourage women
filmmakers, and runs Project Youth Doc, a summer program that
teaches teenagers about documentary production. For more
