“It was such fun being the Honored Guest Filmmaker at CASCADIA: Giving my Masterclass—especially sharing many clips from my career all at once and inspiring bright, young filmmakers—screening “Last Flight Home,” “All The Walls Came Down,” and “DIG!” with passionate audiences, adventuring this beautiful place with my beloved—on bikes, bridges, even boats—making new friends and reuniting with old … What a gorgeous weekend!”

Program & Film
CASCADIA is proud to name award-winning director Ondi Timoner as its 2026 Honored Guest — and to invite you inside the mind of one of documentary cinema’s most consequential artists.
The only director in Sundance history to receive the Grand Jury Prize twice, Timoner’s films DIG! and We Live in Public hold permanent places in the Museum of Modern Art’s collection. Her 2022 film Last Flight Home was Oscar-shortlisted, Emmy-nominated, and earned her both the Visionary Award for Observational Filmmaking and the Humanitas Prize — the film industry’s most prestigious honor for humanistic storytelling.
Presented by Cascadia Daily News. Join us for an evening featuring her newest film, “All The Walls Came Down,” followed by an Q&A with Ondi Timoner to share her insights and stories about her creative process.
