Missoula, MT – Big Sky Documentary Film Festival has announced the official selections for their eighth annual event to be held in Missoula, Montana February 11-20, at the Historic Wilma Theatre. The 140 film program, culled from nearly 1000 entries from all over the world will feature a live performance by indy rock band Yo La Tengo, a free opening night screening of Peter D. Richardsons How To Die In Oregon (sponsored by HBO Documentary Films), a retrospective of films by venerable filmmaker Chuck Workman, and more than twenty-five World, North American and US premiers of new non-fiction films.

The Festival will feature three venues this year–two screens at the Wilma and a special screening room at the former Pipestone Mountaineering store at 129 W. Front Street in downtown Missoula. In every way, the festival continues to grow, said Festival Director, Mike Steinberg. Its a clear reflection of the enormous support we have from our community and our national and local sponsors.

Film info, passes and tickets for Yo La Tengo are available on the festival website:
