The International Fly Fishing Film Tour (IF4) returns to Bend on January 10 at the Tower Theatre, bringing a curated selection of the world’s best fly fishing films to Central Oregon for one night only. Now in its annual global run, IF4 showcases powerful storytelling from filmmakers around the world, celebrating fly fishing not just as a sport, but as a lens into culture, conservation, adventure, and human connection. Each year’s program features a diverse mix of short films ranging from remote international expeditions to intimate, character-driven stories closer to home. This year’s Bend screening will include work from local filmmakers, highlighting the creative community that continues to shape Central Oregon’s role in outdoor storytelling. Among the featured films is Let’s Make a Fishing Movie, directed by Bend-based filmmaker RA Beattie of Off the Grid Studios, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at the realities of filmmaking through the lens of a high-pressure shoot with chef and cultural figure David Chang. The evening promises a dynamic mix of humor, heart, and cinematic craftsmanship, all presented on the big screen at one of Bend’s most iconic venues.
