Stay right in the heart of "The Village" and enjoy all the amenities Schweitzer has to offer, then cruise less than 15 minutes right to the Panida Theater to watch some flicks at Schweitzer Lakedance. PLUS, Schweitzer will even throw in a couple of tickets! Just don't bring your boards and skis quite yet, its still 70 degrees up here!

SLIFF History

SLIFF was founded in 2006 as the Idaho Panhandle International Film Festival, or IPIFF, by father and son Fred and Trevor Greenfield. The duo shared a history of filmmaking and cinema appreciation, and involved local groups like recently-formed Sandpoint Films, Inc., many sponsors, and great film artists to present the first three day film festival in August, 2006. In 2007, the festival changed its name to Schweitzer Lakedance, grew to seven days in September, included many more events and interaction between the artist of independent film and audience and it has remained so ever since.
