Yeah, I was waiting to see if that got suggested, or a more generic handler.

Actually I think Apache could handle it with a Files container, perhaps inside a directory if needed to protect the rest of the site.  <Files flename> SetHandler GoodFile </Files> and that can go into htaccess as well.

Working out the details is a-trivial for me because my brain starting hurting on this specific example:

? are all images in /events/images or are some in /otherevent/images
? why name a script file.php... and why copy it to multiple locations.... <Files File>SetHandler File </Files> it is soo confusing :-D       Go ahead and try it and accidentally set yourself into a recursive loop.... like I did. Bleh.

This is an example of how a site designed around the filesystem can start to get in its own way, although this specific example is especially "difficult"

Or a smart 404 script?
