For well over a century, Oregon’s diverse towns and regions have served as production backdrops for more than 700 films and television shows. From early silent films like The Fisherman’s Bride (Astoria in 1909) and the Academy Award-winning One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to beloved classics such as The Goonies, Stand by Me, Animal House, and Twilight, Oregon has played a starring role in some of cinema's most memorable stories. More recent productions including Wild, Pig, and acclaimed animated features from Laika Studios and ShadowMachine have continued this legacy, bringing recognition, visitors, and significant economic impact to communities across the state.

The Oregon Film Trail (OFT) is the official statewide network of iconic markers placed at significant filming locations across Oregon, the first trail of its kind in the U.S. Connecting communities, landmarks, and notable films, the Trail weaves together Oregon’s vibrant film legacy, creating a platform to retell stories and celebrate over a century of filmmaking. Since the early 1900s, Oregon has been the backdrop for hundreds of feature films and television shows, utilizing thousands of locations that showcase the state’s diverse beauty and culture.
