The Oregon Film & Video Foundation purchased the Hollywood Theatre in 1997 in order to immediately preserve and gradually renovate this nationally recognized historic venue. Since reopening under Foundation management, the Theatre has once again become a vital part of the neighborhood that bears its name. In addition to serving as a movie house for classic, family and art films, it also provides a venue for concerts, theatrical performances, and community events. The Hollywood continues to assist the Oregon film community by serving as a venue for the world premieres of locally produced films and videos (over thirty to date), and as a location for both casting calls and film productions. The Portland International Short Short Film Festival is but one of many events scheduled into this classic facility.
