The Oneota Film Festival is the child of a small, dedicated group that includes representatives of host Luther College, primary sponsor Seed Savers Exchange, the Decorah Public Library and local film enthusiasts who have formed a non-profit corporation for the sole purpose of producing the Festival. Ruth Jenkins has been contracted as the Director. You can email Ruth or call Ruth on 319 504 5128.
