The Art House is a vital partner for Encircle Films – this is our home! We began our journey bringing documentaries to Eugene 10 years ago at The Bijou, then moved to The Metro theater 5 years ago, and now we’re coming back to the Bijou’s new incarnation as Art House. We appreciate your loyalty in moving with us and we’re excited about the better viewing angles for all theater seats, improved sound system for panel discussions, and a lobby and courtyard that facilitates conversations before and after the films that Art House provides. And we’re thrilled to continue to support general manager Edward Schiessl as he creates a venue dedicated to community events.

Being a girl can get tricky at any age, but 10-18 is a uniquely challenging time. To help, Ophelia’s Place offers girls the support they need to build resiliency, find their voices, and discover their strength. Many of our resources are free and online, but if you’re in Oregon, you may also find OP in your school or in your community. We help girls enhance their emotional health, manage life’s challenges, and learn about themselves. We also offer guidance for parents, teachers and peers, including boys. We do this with in-person classes, at our locations and in schools. Becoming more emotionally resilient and flexible not only helps girls, strong girls help us all.
