pdx recovery film festival

Viewers take a real look at what is impacting our communities and generate hope through storytelling and connection.

This year, we are proud to announce that the PDX Recovery Film Festival will be in-person for the first time ever in Portland, OR. We look forward to seeing everyone!!

In 2022, we had a total of 360 submissions and 14 finalists!  We had 160 in person attendees who were able to vote on these fantastic films.  A huge thank you to those who supported the effort, we were able to raise over $21,000 for live saving services to our community.

Bridges to Change’s first PDXRFF was an absolute success.  We had submission from all around the country.  Over 300 people attended the virtual festival.

You can watch this engaging panel discussion from the festival with executive directors Monta Knudson (BTC), Tera Hurst (Health Justice Recovery Alliance) and Chris Bouneff (NAMI Oregon) as they talk about the behavioral health system and homelessness with thoughts on how to be a catalyst for change.
