ONA Short Film Festival aims to share life-changing stories of outdoor sports, nature, and environmental awareness. We believe these themes can have a vital impact on today’s society.

Direct contact with nature awakens us to the knowledge that we are a pivotal piece of the environment in which we live, and have a responsibility to protect it.

Outdoor sports ultimately teach us values that create more sensitive people, and a better world for many more adventurers to come.

    I wish I could have attended, but I’m grateful that our film was part of this year’s ONA festival, which looked like a fantastic event. The organizers were excellent, and I really appreciated them taking the time to arrange a call to get to know us and learn more about our film.

    This is a unique film festival. This year, I had a trully remarkable experience there as one of its guests. I'd like to thank the whole team very much for accommodating me so well and for building such a magnetic atmosphere. The venue and the selection of films are also fantastic! 10 out of 10.

    ONA Short Film Festival is absolutely stunning. The location is beautiful, in the heart of the Venetia lagoon. The selection of films is curated and tells meaningful stories, from all over the world. The Festival promotes a sustainable approach in every aspect. The organizers are amazing and professional and the communication is smooth and clear. It was an absolute honor for my film to be selected. Thank you very much!
