The Willson Oakville Film Festival gives local, Canadian and international filmmakers a chance to participate in a true community-oriented festival, which is focused on bringing the best features, documentaries, and short films to cinephiles in the Golden Horseshoe. We have a track record of bringing in filmmakers from around the world, to talk to audiences about their work. We also support local filmmakers, giving them an opportunity to showcase their work in front of a home audience. In its sixth year, The Willson Oakville Film Festival showcases and promotes excellent films in ALL GENRES (drama, comedies, documentaries, shorts, animation) by Canadian and International filmmakers. We are looking for filmmakers who can tell great stories! We are also accepting films with the theme of mindfullness for the 2019 festival, which for us means becoming aware of the world around you. The festival is social issues oriented, with thought-provoking films about the human condition, but we also programme most genres, including documentary, comedy, drama, film noir, and family features. Through community engagement and sponsorship, we are proud to have been able to support local charities such as Halton Women's Place, Oakville and Milton Humane Society, and the Oakville Hospital Foundation. Our website is www.offa.ca.
There is a cash award given for Best Feature or documentary, best Canadian feature or documentary, Best Short film, and best Canadian short film through our Audience Choice Awards. Our audience is very important to us: you get to vote to determine the best work of the festival.
