This year’s 10^th Anniversary Bend Film Festival, running from October 10^th -12^th, opens with Francesca Gregorini’s The Truth About Emanuel. The film stars Jessica Biel and Kaya Scodelario and centers around a girl’s strange obsession with a new neighbor. A House, A Home, the short film by Daniel Fickle will show before The Truth About Emanuel.

The BFF has also announced three other films that will join in the competition, including the West Coast premiere of Tom Gilroy’s The Cold Lands, a story about grief and reality in the wake of loss. Neil LaBute’s Some Velvet Morning, an intense two-person drama starring just Stanley Tucci and Alice Eve, about the reunion of ex-lovers, will follow.

Dave Carroll’s Bending Steel is among the BFF’s three featured documentaries. Carroll’s documentary follows Chris Schoeck, a man determined to overcome body and mind to revitalize the art of the olde-time strongman. Also in the documentary lineup, BFF has Nicholas D. Wrathall’s attack on the radical Right Wing of the United States, Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia. Hunter Week’s Walter will be the third of the festival’s core documentary lineup. The film follows Hunter Week and his wife, as they try to meet the world’s eldest people, many of which were born in the 1800’s.

The BFF is looking as strong as ever in its tenth year, refreshingly bringing some independent film love to the Pacific Northwest.
