The Idaho Panhandle Film Festival will return for its third year April 18, bringing filmmakers, historians, and movie lovers to downtown Wallace for a one‑day celebration of cinema rooted in both Hollywood craft and North Idaho history. 

This year’s lineup features a special presentation by Daniel Schaeffer, still photographer for Train Dreams, the Academy Award–nominated film adapted from Denis Johnson’s novella. Schaeffer will share a curated set of behind‑the‑scenes stills from the production, offering what festival organizers describe as a rare look at how still imagery preserves a film’s atmosphere and character.
