At the direction of the State of Oregon and local health authorities, we are canceling BendFilm and Scalehouse’s IndieWomen Film Festival screenings, panels and parties this weekend due to COVID-19 concerns. Looking ahead, we are also canceling screenings at the Tin Pan for the foreseeable future to assist with social distancing and in support of healthcare workers who are calling for help in slowing the spread of disease while they catch up with the active cases.
At this point, there is a lot we do not know and cannot predict about future programming. But I can tell you we will work to reschedule all events if possible. We will ensure that those who have purchased tickets will have a voucher to use toward a future screening in their Eventive ticketing account. Please give us 72 hours to process those vouchers.
In times like this, we turn to the arts to decompress, process and conjure up creative solutions to the challenges and opportunities in front of us. We are doing all we can to connect virtually at a time when we cannot connect in person. Stay tuned for announcements on ideas we are discussing so that we can continue to engage in the things we all love during these coming weeks. And if you have ideas please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We recognize that many people are feeling the effects of these decisions across our entire community, and we appreciate your understanding of the real or potential impact on our non-profit’s employees, artists, volunteers and audience members in the community. Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you when our shows resume.
