Submitted by Olympia Film Festival
The Olympia Film Society would like to notify the public that the 36th Olympia Film Festival will be postponed until further notice. OFS plans to bring the festival back in October 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic has hopefully settled. The Film Society has agreed to make this change with concerns for the public and guests.
Exact dates for the festival will be decided upon later. As of March 17 the Capitol Theater will be closed until further notice. OFS will continue to deal with the economic blow caused by the pandemic for months to come. The revenue generated by the use of the theater for performances, concerts, movies, concessions, and bar sales are the building blocks of our financial health, the closure of the theater will halt this revenue stream entirely and have a lasting negative impact on the future of our operations. Your financial support is especially appreciated at this time, as it will help us compensate our hardworking and dedicated staff. By making a donation, becoming or newing a membership, or the online purchase of gift certificates and merchandise will assist us in reopening with minimal disruption to operations and programming.
Although saddened by this postponement, the Olympia Film Society will always put the safety of the public before anything else. Thank you so much for your continued support. Stay vigilant friends.
