Help us kick off KIFF2017 with a full course dinner and dessert in the lobby of the beautiful Ross Ragland Theater. Many of our sponsors and filmmakers will be in attendance, so be sure to thank our sponsors and engage our filmmakers about their work.

The dinner will consist of bread, salad, chicken or egglant parmigiana (depending on your eating preference), and an Italian creme cake dessert provided by Gino's Cafe and Sports Bar. When you order your tickets, please note your meat or veggie preference on the ticket order form where indicated, or ask about an alternative if you have other dietary considerations.

Dinner will be followed by an introduction to the festival, and our opening feature film, "No Man's Land", an unfettered inside look at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge occupation, directed by David Byars and produced by Oscar-nominated Morgan Spurlock.

Note: the Gala dinner with filmmakers and sponsors is via Festival Pass only. The Festival Pass is an all access pass for admission to all of KIFF2017. In addition, Festival Pass holders will get first seating at all shows, if they arrive at least 15 minutes prior to show time.
