The Orgosolo Film Festival – Cinema of protest, struggle, and resistance (“OFF”) is a film competition promoted and organized by the cultural association RTS – Radio Televisione Sarda, which also acts as the Artistic Direction. These regulations refer to the first edition of the Festival, which will take place in September 2025 in Orgosolo. The Festival is competitive and therefore should be regarded as a contest and showcase of films and professionals from around the world, offering directors and all involved artists and professionals the opportunity to gain strong visibility for their films and the themes they address.

The Orgosolo Film Festival aims to enhance and promote film productions focused on themes of social protest, struggle, and resistance. The Festival seeks to serve as an international medium for communication and exchange, as well as a platform for critique, development, and promotion of cinema as a tool for reflection and social change.
